When Healthcare Providers Fail, We Fight for You
Medical Malpractice
Harmed By a Healthcare Professional? Postman Delivers
When you go to a doctor, hospital, or clinic, you expect to be treated with care and professionalism. But when medical providers make serious mistakes, the results can be devastating leading to permanent injury, worsening conditions, or even death.
At Postman Law, we hold negligent healthcare providers accountable and fight for the compensation injured patients deserve. If you were harmed by a misdiagnosis, surgical error, birth injury, or any form of medical negligence, our legal team is ready to help.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a licensed healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon, fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient.
To bring a successful claim, you generally need to prove:
- A provider-patient relationship existed
- The provider acted negligently or failed to follow proper medical procedures
- That negligence caused injury or worsened your condition
- You suffered damages as a result (physical, emotional, financial)
These cases are complex and require medical records, expert testimony, and detailed legal analysis. We know how to handle them.

Common Ways Medical Professionals Try to Block Malpractice Claims
Patient Contributed to the Injury
Argues that the patient’s own actions, like not following medical advice or hiding information, played a role in causing or worsening the harm.
No Deviation from Standard of Care
The provider claims they followed the accepted medical standards and acted as any reasonable professional would in the same situation.
Injury Was Not Caused by the Provider
Even if the doctor was negligent, they argue the injury was due to an underlying condition or other factors beyond their control.
Informed Consent Was Given
The provider claims the patient was fully informed of the risks and complications and agreed to proceed.
Statute of Limitations Expired
The case is dismissed if it’s filed after the legal time limit allowed for malpractice claims in that state.
But there are ways around these defenses. Our team of experienced attorneys can help you navigate these defenses and work to ensure you bring the strongest claim possible.
