Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice
We rely on doctors, nurses, emergency room physicians and hospital staff to provide professional, reliable care in times of crisis. Mistakes happen. Patients suffer serious injury. Some lose their lives. Entire families suffer. When a preventable medical error is a result of a doctor's negligence or a hospital's failure to follow accepted standards of care, there may be reason to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
