Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the recognized "standard of care" in the treatment of a patient. When this deviation results in harm to a patient, it may constitute medical malpractice.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Our medical malpractice practice includes cases involving:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis - When a doctor fails to correctly diagnose a condition or delays diagnosis, leading to harm.
• Surgical Errors - Including wrong-site surgery, surgical negligence, and complications due to errors during procedures.
• Medication Errors - Prescribing incorrect medications, improper dosages, or failing to recognize dangerous drug interactions.
• Birth Injuries - Injuries to mother or child during pregnancy, labor, or delivery due to negligent care.

Scott's medical background allows for an in-depth understanding of medical records and treatment protocols, giving our clients an advantage in these complex cases.
