Do You Have a Medical
Malpractice Case?
How Is Medical Malpractice Proven?
When we go to the doctor, hospital, or another medical clinic, we assume the level of care we receive will be excellent. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. While it is true that doctors and nurses are people just like the rest of us and make mistakes, many medical errors are preventable. We hold medical professionals to a high standard of care in the United States, as we should. When these individuals or corporations do not act in good faith, and a patient suffers, they must be held accountable.

What is Medical Malpractice?
Before we look at some of the top causes of medical malpractice, we must define what, exactly, it is. Medical malpractice occurs when a patient suffers an injury because of the actions, misconduct, or failure to act as a doctor, nurse, or another medical professional. When a trusted healthcare professional fails to perform their medical duties, the consequences can be devastating.
