What Is Medical Malpractice?

Doctors and other medical professionals are highly trained individuals who truly want to help their patients feel better. Such professionals are held to a standard of care requiring him or her to provide appropriate quality care and to inform the patient of all necessary information. Unfortunately, negligence does often occur and it can be catastrophic and may even result in wrongful death.

Some common medical errors are:

  • Failure to diagnose cancer or other illness
  • Surgical error
  • Wrong site surgery
  • Birth injuries
  • Anesthesia complications
  • Emergency room negligence
  • Pharmacy errors

Medical malpractice can have far-reaching, devastating consequences, including infections, permanent disability, brain damage and even death. It’s important to reach out to a medical malpractice lawyer in Rhode Island as soon as possible in order to learn more about your rights and legal options.

What You Should Know About Medical Malpractice Cases

There are several things you need to know regarding medical malpractice cases:

  • They are always contested. Unlike most auto accidents or slip-and-fall cases, medical malpractice will likely not settle prior to a lawsuit. That does not necessarily mean the case will go all the way to trial, but your attorney can better prepare as if it will be tried.
  • Medical malpractice is changing. Medical malpractice is heavily discussed in the ongoing health care debates as so-called “tort reform.” You need an attorney who is always keeping an eye on the current state of the law so that you are well aware of your rights. Our blog is a great resource to follow the debate concerning medical malpractice law. Also, as a member of the Rhode Island Association for Justice, our Rhode Island medical malpractice attorney is helping to protect victims’ rights to compensation for medical errors.
