Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is medical malpractice?

A: Basically, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other medical professional or a health care institution is negligent, and causes harm or damage to their patient. Medical negligence can arise from something that was done (negligent act) or something that wasn’t done (omission).

• There are many types of medical malpractice such as: cancer misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, wrong diagnosis, missed diagnosis, laboratory mistakes, prescription errors, surgical mistakes, birth injuries, etc.

Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients’ rights to seek compensation if they are injured as a result of medical malpractice. 
Jeffrey Meldon Tip:  Under the law you can seek compensation for any injury caused by medical malpractice, however, these cases generally take a lot of time and money to litigate and try, so it is usually unrealistic to seek damages, or sue for an injury or damage that is minor or heals quickly. 
Jeffrey Meldon Tip:    If you believe you have a medical malpractice claim; it is important to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney/lawyer who can help you determine if you have a claim that is worth pursuing ASAP.
