Boston Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Failure to Diagnose,  Misdiagnosis, Physician and Prescription Drug Errors

Medical malpractice is an act or omission by a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider which causes injury to the patient and deviates from from accepted standards of practice in the medical community. Even if the patient has signed a release which identifies certain problems that may arise, the health care provider may still be responsible if the injury or complication could have been avoided.

Some of the types of malpractice that can occur are: the failure to diagnose, or misdiagnosis of a disease or medical condition; failure to provide appropriate treatment for a condition; or an unreasonable delay in treating a medical condition. A provider may also be responsible for injuries if no consent for a procedure was obtained from the patient.
