    Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

    A medical malpractice lawsuit is a legal action taken by a patient or their family against a healthcare provider or facility for negligence, mistakes, or intentional harm that resulted in harm or injury to the patient. The harm or injury can be physical, emotional, or financial.

    Filing A Medical Malpractice Claim

    To file a medical malpractice claim, the patient or their representative must demonstrate that the healthcare provider breached their duty of care, meaning they did not meet the standard of care expected of a reasonably competent healthcare provider. They must also show that this breach of duty caused the patient’s injury or harm and that the injury or harm resulted in damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or loss of enjoyment of life.
