Injury Due to Medical Malpractice

Health care workers, including doctors, nurses, other hospital staff members or other health care related professionals, must be held to an industry standard of care when administering treatments to patients. The industry standard has been established by what type or level of care other health care employees/professionals would provide a patient in similar or comparable conditions. If a health care employee does not meet the industry standard of care when administering, or failing to administer, treatment to a patient and the patient is injured as a result, medical malpractice may have occurred. If this is the case, the injured individual may have a legal claim for compensation for injuries suffered. It is important to note that not all injuries a patient may suffer are the result of medical negligence. Medical treatments often have risks involved and negative results may be unavoidable. To have a medical malpractice claim, the patient’s injury must be the result of the negligent action (or inaction) of a medical health care provider.
