You don’t visit a doctor expecting to get hurt more.
“Do no harm” is the cornerstone of the Hippocratic Oath for a good reason: we place our lives in doctors’ hands. Without trust in them, nobody would take medicine, submit to anesthesia, undergo surgery, or even put on an exam gown.
Most doctors, nurses, and medical staff honor that trust and heal people.
But there are those who break this sacred oath. They may misdiagnose, administer the wrong dosage, operate on the wrong part of the body (or the wrong patient), deviate from established best practices, make omissions, or fail to communicate effectively.
Often, malpractice is unintentional, but sometimes the failure is widespread or institutional. A senior physician might repeatedly make mistakes, while other doctors or staff look the other way.
Any time a medical professional fails to follow accepted standards of practice, it may constitute medical negligence or malpractice. Their mistakes can cause injury, illness, or death, devastate families, and create a world of pain that makes the original ailment seem trivial by comparison.
A medical malpractice case can be particularly lengthy and complex. Proving that a medical professional’s breach of the standard of care directly caused harm is not always fast or easy. We have the resources to support intricate cases, including an extensive network of medical experts who can provide testimony on your behalf.
