Medical Malpractice (also called medical negligence) occurs when a physician or other health care provider fails to properly treat a medical condition, and that failure causes an injury to the patient. Medical malpractice cases can happen under a variety of circumstances, such as misdiagnoses of a medical condition, incorrect treatment of a correctly diagnosed condition, a surgical error during an operative procedure, failure to obtain a patient’s informed consent to a medical procedure, and improper use of a medical device or implant..

Medical malpractice cases are usually complex and expensive to pursue. If you believe you suffered an injury as a result of medical malpractice, you should consult with an attorney who is experienced in representing clients in this type of case.
