When you seek medical care, you trust doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide competent treatment. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen, and when they do, the consequences can be devastating. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. Understanding your legal rights is essential for recovering compensation and holding negligent professionals accountable.
