Medical malpractice litigation

Medical malpractice refers to the act, or failure to act by a medical professional, other healthcare professional or hospital, which does not meet the appropriate standard of care and this causes an injury to the patient. This could occur in the diagnosis, medication dosage, health management, treatment, or aftercare of a patient. Medical malpractice law makes it possible for patients to recover compensation for medical expenses (past and future), loss of income and/or general damages for pain and suffering.
