Las Vegas Medical Malpractice Lawyer

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of medical care, resulting in injury, harm, or death to a patient. These circumstances are signs of professional negligence. Examples of what constitutes medical malpractice may include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, or anesthesia errors. However, not every medical mistake rises to the level of malpractice. For a valid personal injury lawsuit in Las Vegas, specific elements must be present.

First, the provider must have owed you a duty of care, such as being your treating physician. Next, it must be shown that the provider acted negligently and failed to provide the reasonable medical care expected under the circumstances. That breach must have directly caused an injury, and the injury must have resulted in actual harm. Such harm could include physical pain, emotional suffering, additional medical expenses, or loss of income. If you’ve been harmed by a medical provider, contact our Las Vegas medical malpractice attorneys at 702-382-9797 for a free initial consultation to determine if you’re eligible for a medical malpractice lawsuit. At Benson & Bingham Accident Injury Lawyers, we’re ready to help you seek justice in your case.
