Medical Malpractice Claim

Medical malpractice cases are when your doctor, surgeon, nurse, specialist or other health care professional causes you injury which is beyond the scope of a reasonable professional in their position. It occurs when these persons do not meet the standard of a reasonable healthcare professional causing injury or sometimes death. Theses cases may also arise when a doctor or other healthcare professional fails to diagnose a problem at all or in a timely manner, or misdiagnoses an illness or an ailment causing further injury.

Medical malpractice cases are difficult. There is no easy medical malpractice case. Liability in a medical malpractice case is unlike liability in any other personal injury case. In most cases, it’s easy for a lay person to determine who caused the injury. In the case of a car running a red light and striking a pedestrian, it wouldn’t take an accident reconstruction expert to tell you that the car is at fault for running the red light and causing damage to the pedestrian. But in a medical malpractice case, a lay person cannot say with any certainty whether or not a doctor or licensed healthcare professional breached the standard of care of that of a reasonable doctor or healthcare professional in the same position.

At Goldfinger Personal Injury Law, we consult with a doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to determine whether or not the doctor is at fault. Proving negligence in these cases is not easy, and takes time and meticulous preparation and attention to the details.

Once liability has been established, we then need to determine what the damages are. A good way of doing this is approaching the case from a “but for” position. “But for” the procedure of Doctor X, you would not have injuries to X, Y and Z.

Many of the doctors or healthcare professionals who have engaged in medical malpractice have done it before. This is because they fail to pay attention, they are not careful, or they simply don’t know what they’re doing. This is not uncommon, but it still takes significant effort and meticulous preparation to prove. We have a dedicated team which works tirelessly on medical malpractice cases. We will make sure that you get the results you deserve.

If you or a loved one feels as if they have been the victim of a medical malpractice, contact Goldfinger Personal Injury Law today.
