Most medical malpractice cases come from the negligence of the doctor, surgeon, or obstetrician on hand. In other cases, however, the fault lies in the hands of the nurses, the medical professionals who are supposed to be the eyes and the ears for the doctors.
If a medical professional’s negligence — whether the doctor’s or nurse’s — causes serious injuries, illness, or wrongful death, the negligent party should be held accountable for the resulting injuries. Although many people do not like the idea of bringing a lawsuit against a professional who works so hard to help others, if your life has been inalterably changed as a result of someone else’s carelessness or failure to carry out their job duties, you deserve to be compensated for the consequences of that carelessness.
