What Is Medical Malpractice?

Like any industry, those in the medical field are responsible for exercising caution and acting reasonably in every aspect of their jobs. This is true of individuals (like doctors) and those responsible for entire organizations (like hospitals).

Legally, medical malpractice is “negligence committed by a professional health care provider—a doctor, nurse, dentist, technician, hospital or hospital worker—whose performance of duties departs from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients.”

In short, those who commit medical malpractice act in an unreasonable manner that, in many cases, leads to harm such as:

• The progression of medical conditions because the doctor fails to diagnose, misdiagnosis, or makes a delayed diagnosis
• Direct injury to the patient
• Unnecessary financial expenditures by the patient
• Exposure to unnecessary emotional distress and pain, which can result from inappropriate treatment courses and other forms of malpractice
• Wrongful deaths

These are just a few of the many ways that medical malpractice can harm its victims. These and other malpractice-related consequences demand that you seek justice, and an attorney from Caddell Reynolds will lead your fight for justice.

How We Prove Negligence in Medical Malpractice Cases

The root of every civil case is proving negligence, and medical malpractice cases are no exception. Though we will need to apply the details of your medical malpractice to our argument, we will make the case for negligence by:

• Establishing the duty of care: Every medical provider and establishment has a duty of care to the patient. This duty of care requires them to act reasonably, which includes being thorough, minimizing the risk of harm, and informing the client of all relevant information, including health risks.
• Proving the breach of the duty of care: Your medical malpractice lawyer will explain and prove how the negligent party acted unreasonably. There are countless examples of medical malpractice, and we will prove every instance of negligence that has caused you harm.
• Linking the breach to the effects of medical malpractice: Our lawyers rely on the evidence to tell the story of negligence. By citing evidence that proves the negligent medical professional(s) failed you, we will prove that their negligence has caused the harm you’re suffering.
• Proving the damages you’ve suffered because of medical malpractice: Once we have established the liable parties’ negligence, we will show the damages you have suffered.

Our lawyers are extraordinarily experienced in making this argument, as we have represented many victims of medical malpractice (and other forms of negligence). We will quickly gather the details of your circumstances so we can tailor this argument to your case.

What Are Common Examples of Medical Malpractice?

Medicine is a risk-filled field. However, while some medical practices involve unavoidable risk, doctors and other professionals must do everything possible to protect and inform their patients. Some common forms of medical malpractice that you should seek justice for are:

• Failure to accurately diagnose medical conditions, which is a rampant problem in the medical industry that allows otherwise manageable conditions to become potentially deadly
• Failure to diagnose conditions promptly, which can include failing to order testing or evaluations that might uncover a health problem
• Surgical errors
• Misinterpreting test results or other medical documents
• Recommending treatment courses that prove unnecessary or harmful
• Practicing medicine in unsterile conditions
• Causing birth injuries
• Practicing medicine when under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Practicing medicine when one is physically, psychologically, or emotionally unfit to do so safely
• Failing to warn the patient of the risks involved in treatment courses
• Engaging in any other act or failing to act in a manner that results in harm to the patient

This is only a fraction of the types of medical malpractice that lead to injuries, worsening illness, and wrongful deaths. Call Caddell Reynolds Law Firm today and complete a free consultation if you believe that you or a loved one suffered harm because of malpractice.

Why Hiring a Lawyer Is Especially Important in Medical Malpractice Cases

Hiring a lawyer can be beneficial anytime you suffer injuries, become sick (or worse), or lose a loved one because of negligence. It may be particularly important to hire a lawyer when your case involves medical malpractice because:

• Medical concepts are complex by nature: One reason patients rely on their doctors’ advice is that medicine is complicated by nature. This is what makes medical malpractice such a breach of trust. Our attorneys understand the language of medical malpractice lawsuits, and we also rely on qualified medical experts when building cases like yours.
• The cost of medical malpractice is great: Medicine is a high-stakes field, which means the consequences of medical malpractice are often costly in ways that range beyond money. Your financial costs may be high, but other damages, like pain and suffering, may be just as damaging. You should rely on our law firm, which has a proven record of securing large financial recoveries for our clients.
• Negligent medical providers often have legal teams on their side: Statistics indicate that medical malpractice will affect almost every medical provider at one point or another. Many providers, including large medical institutions, are prepared to fight medical malpractice claims. Therefore, you should have an experienced attorney representing you in the fight for the compensation you deserve.
• You may face long-term health problems: The cost of failing to succeed in your Jonesboro medical malpractice case can be greater than you realize. You may face long-term medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and other damages. You must secure compensation covering both present and future damages, and we will work hard to do just that.

If there has ever been a time to ask for help, it’s as the victim of medical malpractice. Our firm’s dedicated attorneys, paralegals, and support staff are ready to fight for every dollar you are entitled to, no matter how difficult the fight proves to be.

How A Jonesboro Medical Malpractice Lawyer from Our Team Will Fight for You

We are a law firm that sees cases through from start to finish. Our team works long hours to resolve clients’ claims and lawsuits as efficiently as possible, and we will serve you by:

• Identifying those liable for your malpractice-related damages: The medical space is a complicated web, and the medical provider who caused you harm may not be the only one responsible for your damages. We will research the negligent provider, their employer, and anyone else who may owe you compensation.
• Obtaining all evidence of negligence: We will secure evidence proving how medical providers committed malpractice. This may include eyewitness accounts, the liable parties’ admissions of negligence, expert testimony about the defendants’ failures, and a host of other relevant evidence.
• Documenting the harm you’ve suffered because of medical malpractice: We will secure medical records, doctors’ testimony, mental health professionals’ testimony, and all other documentation proving your malpractice-related damages. Those damages may be both economic (like lost income and medical expenses related to the malpractice) and non-economic (with pain and suffering being the primary example of non-economic damages).
• Calculating the financial value of your case: Once we have identified all of your damages, we will determine the financial value of each. The total cost of your damages will be your case value.
• Negotiating a settlement with liable parties: Your Jonesboro medical malpractice lawyer from Caddell Reynolds Law Firm will insist that insurers, negligent medical providers, or any other liable parties cover your entire slate of damages.
• Leading any lawsuit or trial your case requires: We will negotiate in good faith with liable parties. Our team will present our settlement demands and explain why the demands are fair and justified. If liable parties do not meet our demands, though, we may need to file a lawsuit (and possibly go to trial) on your behalf.

Our attorneys have taken many different paths to secure fair compensation for medical malpractice victims. We will update you as your case progresses, review all settlement offers with you, and help you make informed decisions about whether to accept a settlement offer or pursue a lawsuit.

Recoverable Damages for Victims of Medical Malpractice

Your recoverable damages may be expensive in ways that extend beyond financial losses. We frequently see victims of medical malpractice suffer:

The Cost of Negligent Care

Nobody should ever have to pay for medical care that proves to be negligent. We will demand that liable parties cover the cost of their own negligent care.

The Cost of Corrective Medical Care

Victims of medical malpractice often need additional medical care (from competent doctors) to correct the effects of malpractice. We will include in our settlement demand the cost of all medical care related to the liable parties’ negligence.

Pain and Suffering 

Your pain and suffering may include:

• Physical pain
• Lost quality of life
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Depression
• A range of other non-economic harm

We will ensure you receive the mental health care you need, and we will calculate the precise cost of your pain and suffering.

Professional Damages

If you lose income or suffer any other professional harm due to medical malpractice, we will include these professional damages in your case.
