What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, causing injury to a patient. Common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors or anesthesia errors
- Prescription mistakes and wrong medicine
- Birth injuries or complications during delivery
- Failure to monitor a patient’s condition or respond to symptoms
- Errors by physicians, nurses, or other medical professionals
To bring a valid medical malpractice claim, we must demonstrate that a doctor-patient relationship existed, a deviation from the standard of care occurred, and that this deviation caused harm.

How We Build a Medical Malpractice Case

- Obtain and review your full medical records
- Evaluate treatment history and identify errors
- Demonstrate that the doctor or provider deviated from acceptable standards
- Determine the extent of injuries caused by the error

Our team is prepared to take your case from investigation through trial if necessary. We represent clients with both minor and catastrophic injuries, including permanent disability and wrongful death.
