Understanding Medical Malpractice: Seeking Justice for Negligence

Title: Understanding Medical Malpractice: Seeking Justice for Negligence

Dear Readers,

Medical malpractice is a distressing reality that affects countless individuals each year. When we seek medical treatment, we place our trust in healthcare professionals to provide us with competent and compassionate care. Unfortunately, there are instances when medical errors, negligence, or misconduct result in serious harm to patients. At John Russell Legal Service, we’re committed to holding negligent healthcare providers accountable and seeking justice on behalf of victims of medical malpractice.

Defining Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, or other medical professionals, fails to adhere to the accepted standards of care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. Examples of medical malpractice may include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical errors or complications
  • Medication errors
  • Birth injuries
  • Failure to obtain informed consent
  • Hospital-acquired infections
  • Anesthesia errors

Your Rights as a Victim of Medical Malpractice

If you’ve been injured due to medical malpractice, you have rights under the law. These rights may entitle you to seek compensation for:

  1. Medical expenses: This includes the costs of additional medical treatments, surgeries, hospitalizations, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing care required to address the consequences of the malpractice.
  2. Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working or earning income, you may be eligible to recover compensation for lost wages, including future earning capacity.
  3. Pain and suffering: Medical malpractice can have a profound impact on a patient’s physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Compensation may be available to address these non-economic damages.
