Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, surgeon, etc.) fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient, including those in the care of a nursing home. This can include errors such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, or improper treatment.
Yes, medical malpractice can occur even if the healthcare provider did not act with harmful intent. Malpractice happens when a provider’s actions or omissions fall below the accepted medical standard, regardless of intent. What matters is whether the provider’s actions directly resulted in harm to the patient.
In a medical malpractice lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, emotional distress, and any long-term care or rehabilitation needed as a result of the injury.
To determine if you have a case, you need to prove that the healthcare provider’s actions were negligent and directly caused harm. The Postman Law team can help evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process.
Nursing home neglect occurs when a facility or its staff fail to provide proper care, resulting in harm to a resident. This can include inadequate medical attention, poor hygiene, unsafe living conditions, malnutrition, dehydration, or failure to prevent falls or injuries.
Settlement timelines vary depending on case complexity, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of the facility or insurer to negotiate. Some cases may settle within months, while others take longer, especially if litigation is necessary.
