MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CLAIM
According to malpractice law, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other healthcare professional commits medical negligence. In addition to committing an act of medical negligence, to have a medical malpractice claim this act must have directly resulted in the patient’s injury. The patient must show that the injury resulted in disability, loss of income, unusual pain, suffering and hardship, or significant past and future medical bills. Multiple studies have concluded that misdiagnosis is the most common cause of malpractice claims.
We recently settled a medical malpractice suit where our client went into a Philadelphia hospital, was diagnosed with cancer, received treatment and became paralyzed. It had been determined by our expert reporting and legal strategy that the treatment our client was receiving should have been halted and a thorough investigation made into the nature of the patience symptoms. Four other law firms turned down the case. Our devotion and expertiese led to a successful outcome. We handle cases across a broad range of clinical and treatment mistakes; our clients trust Marino Associates.
