It is very important to understand that poor results alone do not constitute medical malpractice. There are never any guarantees that medical treatment will correct the ailment. If you have a concern as to whether a doctor committed medical malpractice I encourage to speak with an attorney. Only an experienced practitioner with a speciality in medical malpractice can truly evaluate your claim. That being said in order for a doctor or the facility to be liable for neglience relating to medical treatment there must be a breach in the accepted standard of care by either the doctor or the facility and that breach must be the proximate cause of your injury.

If you, or a family member, have been a victim of a doctor's negligence, you should immediately consult with an attorney. Doctors are human and they can make mistakes. If you believe that a doctor has made a mistake causing injury or death to you or a loved one, you may have a right to recover for that injury. Doctors carry malpractice insurance that protects them from personal liability and compensates patients in the event that a doctor makes a mistake. The insurance is there to protect patients who are affected by doctors' negligence. Examples of common medical malpractice claims are failure to diagnose cancer, misdiagnosis of illness, improper anesthesia and infant disability or death due to delayed or improper delivery. If we think you may have a potential claim, we will hire a medical professional to determine if your doctor committed malpractice and you have the right to a recovery.
Medical Malpractice is extremely complicated. Medicine is a science and an art for which attorneys are not typically trained. In order to even understand your case, your attorney must be proficient with medicine and its terminology. Further, medical malpractice has very specific statutory regulations. Not every attorney can handle these cases. Before you hire any attorney be very sure that attorney can understand both the medical aspects and implement the legal aspects.
