MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

When a physician, nurse, hospital or other medical care provider fails to uphold the standard of medical care required and causes harm to a patient, the victim of that medical negligence may be able to recover for the injuries and damages sustained through a medical malpractice lawsuit. We use only the most highly qualified and credible experts in their specialty and field of expertise in order to properly evaluate potential medical malpractice claims and to testify in the cases that are meritorious. We handle cases involving, birth injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, surgical malpractice and the failure to diagnose and treat medical conditions in all medical specialties.

WHAT IS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE?

Medical Malpractice occurs when a medical care provider causes injury or harm to a patient as a result of their negligence, error or omission to provide appropriate treatment to the patient.

Some examples of medical malpractice are:
  • Failure to diagnose
  • Patient abandonment
  • Failure to conduct appropriate testing of a patient
  • Failure to appropriately assess a patient
  • Failure to take the necessary emergent actions required
  • Failure to properly maintain equipment or appliances necessary for medical services
  • Failure to use the requisite skill to perform a medical procedure
  • Failure to obtain informed consent of a patient
  • Failure to disclose the risks and complications associated with a medical procedure.

WHAT IS A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT?

Arkansas law allows for a person who is injured as a result of negligence by a medical care provider to have the opportunity to recover compensation with the goal of making that individual "whole" again. While monetary compensation can never fully make a person "whole" after a medical injury, monetary losses may be sought to compensate for the patient's damages as a result of the injury. Examples of quantifiable damages are past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, rehabilitation services, custodial care and loss of earning capacity. In addition, injured patients are also allowed to recover for damages such as pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life due to the injuries that the patient has sustained.
