Medical Malpractice

How Can We Help

What is medical malpractice? Medical malpractice is understood as professional negligence by a doctor or other health care professional or provider in which injury, death or harm was caused by substandard treatment. The malpractice or negligence can be the result of a range of factors such as misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, incorrect medicine dosages or types prescribed, health management, lack of consent, treatment or aftercare.

While the United States offers some of the best and most advanced health care in the world, mistakes can happen and when the do, the consequences can be life altering and sometimes even cause death. Medical malpractice law provides a legal process for victims to recover financially from harms they suffered as a result of substandard care. At The Schupak Law Firm, we will work diligently to make sure you recover the highest possible settlement or verdict as a result of your injury.

The laws and regulations regarding medical malpractice vary from state to state so it is important to hire a legal advocate that is familiar with the laws in the state where the injury occurred. In addition, all medical malpractice claims have limits on when they must be filed. These limits are called “statutes of limitations” and if you don’t file your claim within the proper time limits, you risk waiving your rights to recover money for your injuries.
