What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse or other medical professional is negligent and that negligence causes injury or additional illness or death to a patient. In legal terms, malpractice occurs when a doctor or other healthcare professional violates the applicable standard of care and an injury results.

Who Can File a Claim for Medical Malpractice?

Any person who was injured as a result of negligence by a doctor, hospital, nurse or other medical professional is entitled to file a medical malpractice claim and be compensated for all of the injuries he or she has suffered, including pain and suffering, past and future lost wages, and medical expenses. When a child suffers a birth injury or other medical malpractice, the child’s parents or guardians have the right to seek compensation. When a person dies as a result of medical malpractice, his or her heirs or beneficiaries may be eligible to file a claim.

In Pennsylvania, when filing a medical malpractice claim, the victim must have a Certificate of Merit, which shows that an expert has reviewed the facts of the case and agrees that the defendant (the doctor or medical professional being sued) committed malpractice. At Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo, we regularly handle medical malpractice claims, and thoroughly investigate these cases, often consulting with some of the finest experts in the country. We prepare our cases so that we can prove that the defendant was negligent and that our client should be compensated for all of the injuries and damages the medical professional caused.

If you or a loved one has been injured by medical malpractice, you should contact Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo as soon as possible. Time is critical in these cases.
