Medical Malpractice
Mistakes made by doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers can leave victims with significant pain and suffering, deformity, unending disabilities, and can even cause death. Making things more difficult is the fact that those healthcare providers are defended by large, powerful insurance companies and defense attorneys who work hard and expend tremendous amounts of money in an attempt to limit the compensation that you may receive for your injuries. In order to fight those powerful insurance companies and hospitals for the compensation you deserve you need an experienced and aggressive attorney who will work hard on your behalf and stand up for what is right. The Law Offices of Nicholas A. Parr and the attorneys in his network would be honored to guide you through this complicated process and to fight for compensation on your behalf.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider “breaches the standard of care,” which is the term we used to describe negligence by doctors and other healthcare providers. The “standard of care” is what a reasonably competent healthcare provider, with similar training and experience, would do under the same or similar circumstances. When a healthcare care provider treats a patient negligently, and that negligence causes injury to a patient, the elements of a prima facie case of medical malpractice have been met.
What damages can I recover in a Medical Malpractice Case?
Damages in medical malpractice cases can be catastrophic, having a far reaching impact on victims’ lives. If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, your damages might include:
- Past and future pain and suffering
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future lost wages
- Loss of ability to perform household duties
- Loss of consortium (damage to a marital relationship)
