Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the standard of care expected in the medical community, resulting in harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and more.
Vehicle Accident
After a car accident, ensure everyone is safe and call 911 if needed. Exchange information with other drivers, take photos of the scene and damage, get witness information, and seek medical attention. Don’t admit fault, and contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance companies.
