Contact an Experienced Western Kentucky Injury Attorney
If you have been injured by a physician’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation by filing a medical malpractice claim. Medical malpractice is based upon a theory of negligence or the physician’s failure to act. Examples of medical malpractice include:
- Improperly diagnosing a common medical condition
- Negligently prescribing the wrong medication or treatment
- Failing to communicate properly with other medical staff
- Neglecting to follow hospital rules and regulations
- Failing to otherwise provide a safe environment for patients
Understanding Medical Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice claims often encompass a wide variety of injuries. Such injuries may include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Birth injuries such as cerebral palsy
- Death resulting from a failure to diagnose a common condition such as cancer or heart disease
Personal injury cases can be difficult in general to prove, because the victims have the burden of demonstrating that the defendants caused their injuries. Medical malpractice cases can be particularly complex, because the victims must not only understand the complex medical terminology associated with injuries, but they must also demonstrate that the injuries were direct results of the physicians’ negligence or failures to act.
