Are you injured by Medical Malpractice in hospital?
“Medical Malpractice” relates to a claim for money damages based on a medical professional’s failure to provide proper care, resulting in injury. It could be an act, such as giving the wrong medication, or a failure to act, such as not ordering antibiotics when someone has an infection.
It is important to remember that most medical professionals are very skilled and competent peoples, and many of the things a lay person might think is malpractice is not. Nonetheless, medical errors do happen every day. In fact, tens of thousands of people are victims of medical malpractice each year, many in the result of permanent injuries or death. But every patient has the right to be treated with competent care by their medical professionals.

Why You Need Expert Attorneys
Medical malpractice is a very specialized field of law. And because of the costs associated with medical malpractice cases, and the need to understand medicine and manage expert medical witnesses, most lawyers will not accept medical malpractice cases.
If you believe you or a loved one is a victim of medical malpractice, you need to speak with an attorney with the experience and proven track record of success in handling these complex cases. The attorneys at Philadelphia Injury Lawyers focus their practice on all medical malpractice and medical injury-related lawsuits, including claims of emotional distress.

Philadelphia Injury Lawyers Firm
In every medical malpractice case, the victim must prove that the medical professional (for example, a doctor or a nurse) failed to provide the same treatment that other competent doctors or nurses would provide under the same circumstances. Also, that the doctor’s treatment resulted in an injury or death to the victim. This almost always requires the use of medical expert witnesses to give their opinion as whether the doctor or nurse did something wrong. Proving that the doctor or nurse did something wrong that caused an injury is referred to as “liability.”
Once liability is established, the victim will be entitled to money damages. However, economic damages for wage loss, money you have spent because of your injury and future medical expenses may also be recovered.
