Lawrence County Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Experienced Medical Malpractice Attorneys Help Clients Seek Compensation from Negligent Healthcare Professionals

Because every person’s medical treatment is unique, every medical malpractice claim ends up being equally unique. Whether you seek medical treatment and end up feeling worse off than before your treatment, or whether your physician or other medical professional makes an obvious mistake in your treatment, you may be left wondering whether you have a viable medical malpractice claim. 

Every medical malpractice claim begins with investigating the doctor’s or medical professional’s actions, the reasonableness of those actions, and the outcomes of those actions. Unfortunately, not every bad or less than perfect outcome of medical treatment or error by a medical professional constitutes medical malpractice.

Every medical malpractice case is factually complex. That is why you need a skilled, experienced Lawrence County medical malpractice lawyer to give you the best chance at a successful medical malpractice outcome.

When Do Medical Errors By Healthcare Professionals Constitute Medical Malpractice?

Just because a doctor or other medical professional makes an error in your treatment, it does not mean that he or she has committed medical malpractice. A doctor’s or medical professional’s error amount to malpractice only if his or her treatment fell below the accepted standard of care and that substandard treatment caused some harm to the patient. The standard of care is usually defined as the conduct that an ordinary, prudent healthcare professional of similar skill and training would have done under the same circumstances in the same community. The applicable standard of care in any malpractice case is determined by a number of factors, including:

• The particular medical procedure
• The field of medicine in which the professional practices
• The local geographic area where the treatment occurred
• The specific risk factors of the procedure, particularly the age and health of the patient

These and other factors are necessary to determine what a reasonably prudent medical professional would have done under circumstances similar to the case. If the medical professional who rendered treatment in the case did less than another reasonable professional would have, and the patient was subsequently harmed, then the medical professional may have committed medical malpractice
