Medical malpractice occurs when treatment by a health care provider/professional falls below the accepted standard of care in the medical community and leads to injury or death of a patient. If you, a family member, a friend, or a loved one, has been injured by a health care professional, you may be able to file a medical malpractice lawsuit to recover compensation for lost wages, medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, as well as pain and suffering. Medical malpractice lawsuits differ from other personal injury matters because they involve two areas of expertise; law and medicine. As a result, these cases can be complex and require the attention and skill of an attorney/attorneys who have experience in both of these areas. So, the attorney you choose should have a firm understanding of medicine, be able to review and analyze medical documents, have relationships with medical experts for consultation and have the requisite experience to prosecute your claim and anticipate the various defenses and tactics of the adversary. The DeStefano Law Group has handled medical malpractice lawsuits and will use its experience not only in a courtroom setting but also to negotiate a successful resolution for anyone injured as a result of the negligence of a medical professional.
