Medical malpractice can be generally defined as negligence on the part of a physician, hospital or other health care professional which causes physical or emotional damage to that health care professional's patient.
Medical malpractice includes an
injury or death which occurs in the course of medical
treatment and which was proximately caused by a
physician or healthcare provider whose conduct
deviated from the applicable standard of care for such
treatment.
Laird holds his record of medical malpractice awards and settlements among his most significant victories. He has taken difficult cases against health care professionals when others wouldn’t and won significant recoveries. You are a victim of medical malpractice when a physician, hospital or other health care professional negligently treats you causing physical or emotional injury. Negligent treatment occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care. If this treatment causes injury or death, then you may have a claim against your health care provider.
It is sometimes difficult to ascertain whether you have been the victim of medical malpractice, after all, how are you to know what the “standard of care” is in your situation, let alone whether your health care practitioner failed to follow it. If you believe that the outcome of your medical treatment is not as you expected or as you were told then you should contact Laird as soon as possible for a free consultation to determine if you have a claim. You have nothing to lose.
