Medical malpractice is a preventable medical error that causes harm. For example, if you visit a doctor because you noticed that a mole has recently changed in shape and size and the doctor tells you not to worry, that a biopsy is not necessary to exclude the possibility of melanoma (skin cancer), that decision by the doctor is a preventable medical error. Under most circumstances the appropriate medical care will be to take a biopsy. If the mole is cancerous and the failure to obtain the biopsy delays the treatment which allows the cancer to spread and be incurable or to require additional treatments to cure, you have suffered a grave harm. You will have the ability to bring a lawsuit seeking you monetary losses and money damages for pain and suffering.
What most people do not realize is almost all medical malpractice lawsuits will be strongly defended even if the malpractice is “obvious” or “open and shut” to everyone involved. The insurance companies that defend the doctors will do whatever they believe is necessary to delay the case from going to trial. That means that the lawyers you choose to represent you must have a track record of litigating medical malpractice cases through to jury verdict and appeal if necessary.
