Medical Malpractice
As patients or family members of those needing medical care, we tend to trust doctors, hospitals, and other health care facilities to take good care of us.
Sometimes things go wrong that shouldn’t, causing harm and even wrongful death that may constitute Medical Malpractice.
Common examples include surgical errors, medication errors, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and injuries or errors related to childbirth.
Other things that may constitute Medical Malpractice include errors related to a patient’s treatment and healthcare management, including follow-up care.
It’s important to consult with an attorney on any issue or outcome that doesn’t feel right because victims of Medical Malpractice, their families, and their beneficiaries in the case of a death deserve legal redress and financial compensation.
According to the National Library of Medicine website, a patient alleging Medical Malpractice typically must prove four elements for a successful claim:
- a professional duty owed to the patient
- breach of such duty
- injury caused by the breach
- resulting damages
When those factors can be proven and monetary damages are awarded, they generally cover economic loss as well as noneconomic loss, which includes things like pain and suffering.
Determining and chronicling loss can be complex, and Medical Malpractice claims also face the hurdle of going up against a medical field and insurance industry that fights hard to avoid or limit settlements and awards.
Successful litigation requires experience and deep knowledge of how Medical Malpractice cases work, and how they are won, as well as compassion for clients and what they have endured—which are all defining attributes of the Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice attorneys of Rome Clifford Katz & Koerner LLP.
We work tirelessly to construct successful claims and pursue the best route to an optimal outcome and monetary award. Sometimes that’s a settlement, and sometimes it requires going to trial.
