A doctor can commit WA Med Mal Advocates by failing to diagnose or treat a condition, prescribing an improper medication, or performing surgery that causes complications. This can result in life-altering injuries or even wrongful death. Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 250,000 people are injured each year by malpractice committed by a medical professional.
The New York State Legislature defines medical malpractice as any act or omission by a healthcare practitioner that deviates from the accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to a patient. Medical malpractice is a subset of tort law, which is the area of law that addresses negligence caused by others.
Malpractice claims are most successful when the attorney is able to establish that the medical practitioner violated the established standard of care. The law requires specific documentation to support this claim, including diagnostics, surgical notes, prescriptions, hospital discharge papers, expert testimony from specialists in the field, and other relevant documents. A quality medical malpractice attorney will have an intimate knowledge of industry standards and will know how to read and interpret these documents to identify negligence and violations of the standard of care.
In addition to establishing a direct link between the medical error and your injury, it is important for your attorney to establish all liable parties. This may include the liable physician or healthcare provider, the hospital or medical facility where the malpractice occurred, and/or other members of the health care team. The Regan Zambri Long medical malpractice lawyers will review medical records, hospital schedules and protocol, witness testimonies, and other relevant documentation to determine which party or parties is fundamentally liable for your injuries.
The best medical malpractice attorneys have extensive resources that they can use to fight against large hospitals and their insurance providers. This allows them to secure maximum settlements or verdicts that fully cover the client’s losses. It is often easier for an attorney who exclusively practices this type of law to negotiate with insurance providers because they are familiar with their policies and procedures. A general attorney will have to work harder to gain this level of expertise.
