Q. What Is Medical Malpractice?
A: Medical malpractice is a claim that a health care professional or facility acted negligently or provided substandard care, causing harm to you. In order to prove malpractice, you would need to show that the party acted, or failed to act in a way that another professional or facility of the same level would have when treating a patient in a similar situation.
Have you or a loved one been harmed by the actions of a medical facility or professional? We actively fight for settlements that cover victims’ medical bills and other costs.

We will work with you to identify any potentially liable parties and determine the best course of action for pursuing compensation for your injury.
