When medical malpractice occurs, victims can pursue claims against doctors and the clinics or hospitals that employ them. Patients will have the burden of proving negligence or substandard care and of showing the facility or care provider failed to live up to basic duties of professionalism. The hospital and care provider can raise defenses, and one such defense can include an argument that medical malpractice prevention policies were in place.
When a patient successfully proves malpractice, the victim can be financially compensated for damages. A malpractice prevention lawyer at Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC can assist victims in pursuing claims and seeking successful recovery of monetary payments for all losses. Unfortunately, recovering money does not restore health. Every medical care provider and healthcare institution should have malpractice prevention tools and techniques in place to try to keep patients safe and avoid litigation.
