Medical Malpractice

Q: Under what circumstances can I sue for medical malpractice?

A: Before anyone files a medical malpractice claim it is essential that one understands that not any worsening of the medical condition is a result of a medical malpractice. When you went through a procedure in the hospital you should have been advised of any risks and possible complications associated with that procedure. For example, having a recurring infection is not necessarily a result of incorrectly prescribed antibiotics but can be a result of a chronic condition or a result of infection by resistant strains of microorganisms. But when something drastic takes place (such as an amputation of wrong limb, surgery on the wrong patient, incorrectly prescribed medications etc.) then one is eligible to file a medical malpractice claim. In that case, a licensed medical doctor from the same specialty area of medicine will be called to testify in court as an interpreter of medical language and your doctor’s findings and treatment will be compared to the set medical standards of treatment.
