Medical Malpractice and Injuries from Medical Errors
Winning Cases for Your Neighbors since 1985
People injured by medical malpractice may be entitled to substantial compensation for pain, suffering, medical expenses and other damages. Medical malpractice liability, however, is difficult to prove. To prevail, an injured person must:
- Prove duty of care and negligence. Your health care provider must have deviated from the accepted medical standard of care, and the error must be clear and be verified by another medical expert.
- Establish causation and damages. You must prove that your health care provider's action or inaction caused an injury or worsened or prolonged an illness, and as a result, you suffered harm.
If you were injured due to medical malpractice, or someone close to you was, the lawyers of the Pennsylvania personal injury law firm of Drake, Hileman & Davis can provide experienced legal help.
