Trinity Medical Malpractice Lawyer

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Trinity Personal Injury Lawyer / Trinity Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Medical malpractice is a type of lawsuit in which an injured individual or family seeks to find their healthcare provider liable for avoidable injuries sustained during medical treatment. This commonly stems from a belief that the healthcare provider was negligent, or provided a substandard level of care that was the direct or proximate cause of the injury. If you have suffered injury because of medical malpractice, you could contact a compassionate Trinity medical malpractice lawyer for guidance in building a case. A skilled injury attorney could help gather evidence, interview key witnesses, and communicate with the insurance company on your behalf to fight for your rights. Become acquainted with the following information to learn more about how a professional Trinity medical malpractice lawyer could assist you today.

Medical Professional’s Responsibilities

Medical professionals have an obligation to provide a standard of care equivalent to that of other medical professionals in similar circumstances. If the care received falls below an acceptable standard and subsequently is the proximate cause of a patient’s injury, the healthcare provider can be held responsible for the resulting damages. Substandard care can include misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose medical conditions, performing an unnecessary or incorrect surgical procedure, and prescribing incorrect medication. The injuries stemming from these medical errors may require repairing the original injury, treating a new injury site, rehabilitation, and mental health treatment.

Valid Claims

Injured patients must have a valid claim before moving forward with a medical malpractice case. Under this requirement, a patient must have suffered an injury that was caused by the substandard care provided by a medical professional. This means that if the patient did not suffer a physical injury from the incident, they would not have a case to move forward with, even if they received substandard care. Medical malpractice cases can sometimes be difficult to judge. What one physician may do in an emergency can differ vastly from what another prudent provider would do, but a court may deem that neither choice can be considered substandard. However, this dichotomy does not mean that healthcare providers are always right, nor that an unclear case should not move forward.

Burden of Proof

In a medical malpractice lawsuit, the party filing the suit holds the burden of proving that the provider’s action or inaction is not recognized as acceptable or appropriate by other reasonably prudent health care providers. Essentially, the injured individual or their loved one must establish that the care provided by the physician, nurse, technician, or administrative staff was unequal to the care other facilities would have provided because that care reduced the patient’s safety. Contact a dedicated injury attorney to learn more.
