Medical Malpractice

Patients under medical care are extremely vulnerable and need to be protected from Physician mistakes and errors. Medical professionals are required to provide a high standard of care to ensure patient safety. When medical professionals fall below that standard and serious injury results a cause of action for medical malpractice may exist.

Common causes of medical malpractice include:
· Delayed diagnosis of medical condition
· Physician mistake like improper drug or wrong prescription amount.
· Surgical error – wrong procedure, leaving medical devices inside patient
· Misdiagnosis causing health complications or decrease in quality of life.

It will need to be established that the medical professional owed a duty of care. Then their conduct needs to fall below that duty. And finally their actions must be shown to have caused the victims’ damages.
