Medical Malpractice Cases
In general, medical malpractice cases need to be filed within 2 years from
the date that the negligent incident occurred due to a
statute of limitations. In order to have a valid medical malpractice claim, you must be able
to prove that a doctor or other medical professional failed to perform
according to the standard of care set by the field. Through expert analysis
and testimony from another medical professional, you can show that the
actions that your doctor took, or failed to take, did not align with those
of a competent doctor. If these actions were the direct or proximate cause
for your injury, illness, or worsened medical condition, you have the
right to hold your doctor accountable.
Examples of medical negligence include:
- Failure to treat
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Birth injuries
- Accidental amputation
- Cerebral palsy
- Contaminated blood
- Medication errors
- Infectious diseases
- Brain damage
