The legal definition of medical malpractice is a medical profession's failure to act as a reasonable and prudent medical professional would under similar circumstances.
Medical malpractice is a serious concern of many people. We put an enormous amount of faith into the medical system, trusting that each doctor and nurse involved in our care is competent and well-trained. But the reality is that even the most intelligent, experienced doctors can make bad decisions and at times be careless.
Respected studies show that medical mistakes happen far too often, with serious and life-threatening errors going unnoticed or unreported. Patients and family members should use their instincts when faced with unexplained symptoms or problems. Many of the medical malpractice cases are "failure to diagnose" or "misdiagnosis" cases. Other types of medical malpractice errors include mistakes during surgeries, failure to treat, medication errors, birth injuries during labor and delivery and wrongful death cases. If a medical professional's actions, negligence or other wrongdoing caused injury or illness to a patient, the injured party or their family may be eligible to file a legal action to seek losses and suffering. The attorneys at The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC represent the victims and families medical negligence.
