Learn More About Doctor / Nurse Medical Malpractice

Victims of medical malpractice are often subjected to needless suffering due to the negligence of a doctor or nurse. Medical malpractice at the hands of a doctor or nurse can result in incorrect diagnoses or treatment, unnecessary or botched surgery and medical procedures, and failure to diagnose serious medical conditions.

Successful medical malpractice lawsuits must prove that the doctor or nurse failed in his/her duty of care towards the patient: they failed to do something that a reasonably prudent doctor or nurse in the same field would have done under the same or similar circumstances, or that the doctor or nurse did something that no reasonably prudent doctor or nurse in the same field would have done under the same or similar circumstances.

Successful medical malpractice lawsuits must also prove that some harm was caused by this failure to comply with the duty of care, and that the harm risked by such misconduct was reasonably foreseeable at the time.

Finally, the suit must identify the amount of damages that would reasonably compensate the plaintiff for the harm caused by the malpractice.
