What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider “breaches the standard of care,” which is essentially negligence for doctors. The “standard of care” is what a reasonably competent healthcare provider, with similar training and experience, would do under the same or similar circumstances. When a healthcare care provider breaches the “standard of care,” and that negligence results in an injury, a potential medical malpractice claim exists.

Damages You Can Receive From a Wrongful Death Claim

Injuries that result from medical malpractice can give rise to a variety of recoverable damages, including:

• Past and future pain and suffering
• Past medical expenses
• Past lost wages
• Future medical expenses
• Future lost wages
• Loss of ability to perform household duties
• Loss of consortium
