San Diego Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical Malpractice

When you go to the doctor, you effectively put your life and well-being in his or her hands. You trust the doctor, nurses and other staff to do what’s best for your current and future health. It is the responsibility of the professional overseeing your care to act reasonably and use standard, proven methods in your diagnosis and treatment.

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional, due to negligence, acts in a manner or makes a decision that causes harm to the patient. To qualify as malpractice, the doctor must have done what no reasonable doctor would have during a similar situation – and that action or error must have injured the patient.

The failure of a doctor to get a patient’s informed consent may also be grounds for a medical malpractice suit. A doctor must inform a patient of the risks involved in a medical procedure and get consent before administering treatment. A procedure carried out without informed consent that results in injury to the patient – even when the procedure was performed properly – is grounds for a medical malpractice case.
