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.
