Experienced Medical Malpractice Defense Attorneys
Malpractice Solutions
A 2016 Physician Practice Benchmark study conducted by the American Medical Association noted that 34% of all physicians will be sued at some point during their careers. Medical negligence occurs when a medical professional fails to provide an acceptable standard of treatment.
That negligence becomes medical malpractice when a patient suffers injury as a direct result of a mistake, lack of proper care, missed diagnosis, or other issues. However the plaintiff must demonstrate both legal causation and damages before medical negligence becomes malpractice.
