Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice claims involve injuries that are caused by the failure of a medical professional to use proper levels of care
and skill in the performance of his or her duties. the minimum accepted level of care is determined by professionals in the same geographic area and professional field are doing for their patients.
Medicine is not
an exact science, and it is important to remember that malpractice does not occur every time a medical treatment is not successful. Doctors
are not required to be right every time they make a diagnosis or render treatment. However, they are obligated to provide
good medical care based upon the accepted standards in their medical specialty.
A misdiagnosis
or unsuccessful treatment combined with such factors as failing to obtain a proper medical history, not ordering the appropriate
medical tests or failing to recognize observable symptoms of an illness can be grounds for medical malpractice if it can
shown that the failure was the proximate cause of the injury.
