Turlock Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Patients who seek medical attention expect to be treated with reasonable standards of care. While medical science does not provide answers or solutions to all of humanity's ailments, it should still be used to treat patients in the safest and healthiest way possible. When physicians, nurses and other medical professionals fail to meet the expected standards of care for their profession or act with clear negligence, victims who suffer injuries or illnesses can file personal injury claims of the basis of medical malpractice.
Common Medical Malpractice Claims
Our firm wants to make it clear that we do not aim to hold health care providers liable for their inability to solve medical problems. This would not only be grossly unfair, but also wholly unrealistic, as modern medicine does involve substantial risks and margins of error. Our goal, therefore, is to hold negligent medical professionals liable for any damages they cause to patients. The key word in these highly technical and disputed cases is negligence, which implies carelessness. If negligence can be proven, such as when physicians fail to meet reasonable standards of care for their given medical field, we strongly believe that victims have every right to seek compensation. In fact, stamping out negligence in the health care industry is precisely why medical malpractice laws were created. Some common examples of medical malpractice claims include the following:
- Medication errors
- Emergency room errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
Medical misadventures injure and kill thousands of Americans each year. These types of claims are successful only when it can be proven that a medical professional's mistake could have been avoided or prevented had they exercised proper caution, protocol and care. By working tirelessly to unearth this essential element of preventable harm, our legal team can clearly establish negligence and liability and obtain the results our clients deserve.
