Balmville, NY Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical malpractice is a much greater problem than most people realize. A Harvard Medical School study found that over 5% of all hospital patients were injured as a result of medical malpractice. While these medical malpractice statistics are alarming, it is even more disturbing that these statistics do not even include medical malpractice deaths that have occurred in clinics, private doctors offices, or other treatment facilities.

Medical Malpractice occurs when there is a deviation from the accepted standard of care in the community or locality where the doctor or hospital is located. It is considered medical malpractice, not because of unforeseen complications, but rather if the complications were the result of improper care and treatment. By failing to properly diagnose an illness or condition, such as cancer, in a timely manner can be considered medical negligence.
