Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional fails to live up to the standard of care expected in the medical community, leading to injury or harm to the patient. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. Common examples include surgical errors, birth injuries, medication mistakes, failing to diagnose or misdiagnose a disease, and inadequate follow-up or aftercare.

Do You Have A Case?
Identifying whether you have a medical malpractice case involves several key considerations:
- Standard of care: Was there a deviation from the standard medical care expected?
- Causation: Did this deviation directly cause harm or injury?
- Damages: Were there significant damages as a result of this injury?
In other words, it can be confusing. Not all negative outcomes in medical treatment are caused by malpractice. Your lawyer can help you determine if you have a medical malpractice case.
Victims can pursue cases against individual practitioners like doctors, nurses, or anesthesiologists, as well as against hospitals or health care facilities where systemic issues may have contributed to the malpractice.
Estimating Your Case’s Value
The value of a medical malpractice claim can vary significantly based on the extent of injury, projected future medical needs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In limited cases, you can also seek punitive damages, which are meant to punish wrongdoing.
An experienced attorney from Langer & Langer can help you understand your case’s potential worth by carefully analyzing these factors.
How Can An Attorney Help?
Getting through a medical malpractice claim requires not only an understanding of the law but also a strategic approach tailored to each unique situation. Our attorneys can help by:
- Gathering and analyzing medical records: These are essential for proving your case.
- Consulting medical experts: Their testimony can be crucial in establishing what the standard of care should have been and how it was not met.
- Handling legal proceedings and negotiations: Our skilled lawyers manage the complexities of the legal process, including negotiations with insurance companies and opposing counsel.
