Many people think that a doctor only commits malpractice if he or she is reckless or deliberately inattentive in their treatment of a patient. Actually malpractice simply means negligence, it is the medical equivalent of failing to stop at a stop sign and causing an accident. Just as drivers have a duty to be reasonably careful when driving, doctors have a duty to be reasonably careful when treating their patients. If doctors fail in this duty, they have committed malpractice. The focus is then on the injuries the patient has suffered as a result of the negligence and getting him/her compensation for those injuries. Our firm is dedicated to helping victims of medical malpractice throughout New England.
