Medical Malpractice occurs where a medical practitioner acts in a negligent manner towards a patient during the process of medical treatment. Examples of medical malpractice include:

- failure to diagnose, or misdiagnoses of a disease or medical condition

- failure to provide appropriate treatment for a medical condition

- unreasonable delay in treating a diagnosed medical condition

A medical practitioner may also be legally liable in case the patient has not given their “informed consent“ to a medical procedure that results in a harm to this patient.

On the other side a patient cannot make claims for recovering from damages caused by the medical practitioner if it is proved that the practitioner's error has not caused harm to the patient.

Medical Malpractice litigation processes are in most cases continuous, very specific and expensive due to the constantly changing and modern technologies of medical procedures.

If you are a victim of Medical Malpractice, you better consult a good lawyer who will advise you if it is more reasonable to finance a litigation process or to abandon your demands for compensation because very often the attorney costs could exceed the reimbursement due.
