Suffolk County Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice occurs when a patient is injured due to medical negligence or wrongdoing. Medical malpractice can involve any type of medical care, such as birth injuries, misdiagnosis, surgical error, or prescription error. Medical errors only amount to medical malpractice when a patient can demonstrate that 1) the error was a result of substandard medical care, and 2) the patient was injured as a result.
