Medical malpractice

Medical malpractice is legally defined as negligence of a doctor for a patient’s health and wellbeing while under their medical care. We expect top-notch care and entrust our doctors with any of our medical needs, but they are human and accidents can happen. Accidents aren’t always considered medical malpractice, but if there was blatant negligence and preventable errors that results in injury or death. Wrongful death is a different legal pursuit, but sometimes is involved in medical malpractice suits.

There are a myriad of things that could go wrong in the healthcare world, with three major conditions that must apply in order to sue for medical malpractice. The following conditions must exist in order to to sue for malpractice: 

• A duty owed to a patient by a medical professional
• A breach of the duty of a medical professional 
• Harm or damage done because of the breach of duty by the medical professional

In simple terms, medical malpractice is when proper medical attention is not taken when it should have been. The goal of a medical malpractice suit is for the hired lawyer to sue for damages. This money can help cover various medical costs already billed from the previous visits, pay for new medical costs in order to best remedy the medical issue (if possible), or assist in purchasing help for a new lifestyle that is imposed on the patient from medical malpractice. 

While we can’t go back in time to change the negligent decisions made by medical professionals that cause damage and harm, we can work to find a solution to best move forward according to the needs of the patient. Medical malpractice is a serious allegation with even more serious consequences for both the patient and involved medical professionals.
