Medical Malpractice

As a patient receiving medical care, you should feel confident that your healthcare professionals operate or medicate under the safest of conditions. After all, your health and even your life are at stake. However, there is an alarming rate of poor healthcare being administered throughout the country, including in the state of Massachusetts.

Medical malpractice can be defined as professional negligence by act or omission by a healthcare provider in which the treatment provided falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community. In turn, the care administered causes injury or death to a patient, with most cases resulting from a medical error.

Medical malpractice is a major concern and can potentially affect you or your family. In the state of Massachusetts, the concern is so big that doctors and other healthcare providers are required to have significant medical malpractice insurance policies.

If you or a loved one have been the victim of malpractice, consult a Massachusetts lawyer so you can fully understand your rights. You may be eligible to receive compensation for damages and medical costs which you’ve incurred.

Below are common medical malpractice claims:

  • Hospital negligence
    • Failure to provide food, hydration or other basic care
