Medical malpractice claims occur when a doctor, or another medical professional, makes a mistake that results in injury or loss. Medical malpractice can happen as the result of a failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis, misreading laboratory results, unnecessary surgery, surgical errors, improper medication, not taking appropriate patient history, or poor aftercare. A medical malpractice claim can also occur where the doctor or medical professional did not properly explain the risks of the treatment or procedure or did not get proper consent. If you have been injured as a result of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation for: Expenses for medication and treatment, past and future loss of income, general damages for pain and suffering, loss of valuable services, future cost of care, and more.
