Mississippi Medical Malpractice

Thousands of people are injured each year due to the negligence of a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider.  It is estimated that as many as 98,000 people die each year in hospitals due to a preventable medical error. 

Medical malpractice is when a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider fails to exercise the degree of care and skill that a similar health care professional would use under similar circumstances and the patient is injured.  However, the practice of medicine is not an exact science and sometimes a course of treatment is not successful or there is an unfavorable outcome.  That does not necessarily mean there was malpractice on the part of the health care provider.  Rather, a victim must prove that the health care provider’s conduct fell below the standard of care.  Many times it is difficult to prove.  That is why it is important to ensure you have an experienced medical malpractice attorney representing you.
