Southern Maryland Medical Malpractice Attorneys
The attorneys and staff of Davis & Palumbo, LLC have extensive experience handling serious medical malpractice claims. Medical malpractice is the legal term for treatment or care that falls below accepted medical standards and results in injury or death. When patients visit a doctor or check into a hospital for a routine or specialized procedure, they expect a certain standard of care. Most physicians and health care providers deliver that care without incident, but mistakes do happen, and when they do, the impact on a patient and their family can be devastating. If you didn’t receive the level of care and skill required of a medical professional, and you were injured or became ill as a result, you may have grounds for legal action.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider negligently makes an error or omission that causes injury or death to a patient. Common examples include improperly performed surgery or other medical procedures, mistakes during childbirth or delivery that cause brain or other neurological injuries, a failure to diagnose an illness or condition that delays needed treatment, improper prescription of a drug or medication, and negligent administration of anesthesia resulting in paralysis or other injury.
