Medical mistakes are one of the most frequent causes of personal injury, serious and fatal injuries. Patients expect doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide care consistent with reasonable standards of health care, patient safety, and ethical medical practice. When that trust is breached, victims deserve accountability.
A medical malpractice claim requires demonstrable evidence that a healthcare professional knowingly or negligently caused quantifiable life harms to the plaintiff. A medical expert analysis of relevant health records and the defendant’s actions is critical in establishing such proof. Once demonstrated, a victim can potentially recover measurable damages covering all accident-related medical expenses, anticipated care costs ahead, lost income and benefits plus acknowledgement of physical pain, emotional distress alongside reduced quality of life attributed to clinical errors consciously imposed by profit-seeking or distracted medical professionals needing accountability.
