Medical Malpractice

If you or a loved one has received medical care which has caused harm you may have a cause of action against the doctor, facility, or others. Medical malpractice means that a medical professional has violated the applicable standard of care which caused you harm. In simpler terms, the doctor or healthcare professional didn't do what they were supposed to. With the passage of so-called "tort reform" in the 90's, this cause of action has become extremely complicated and governed by law. In most cases, you only have 2 years from the date of the malpractice to file your claim; however, there are numerous exceptions to this general rule. If you feel that you may have a medical malpractice case it is important that you seek legal counsel immediately so that all of your rights are protected.
