Medical malpractice occurs when an injury is caused by a doctor’s deviation from the ordinary standard of care. If your doctor fails to treat your injuries or health condition correctly or fails to properly diagnose it in the first place, and that, in turn, causes new or aggravated injuries, you may have a medical malpractice claim.

Your physician or medical practitioner may have committed medical malpractice if he or she:

· Delayed or failed to properly diagnose your health condition or disease
· Failed to give the appropriate applicable treatment for your health condition
· Treated you negligently, causing you harm
· Injured you during a surgical procedure
· Prescribed the wrong medicines or medical devices
