Healthcare professionals and medical institutions are essential to maintaining citizens’ health and well-being. The medical field’s standards of practice are heightened compared to other industries due to the nature of the services and products provided. Unfortunately, there still exists the potential that human error or an unforeseeable incident may occur, resulting in the subsequent injury of a patient. In medical malpractice cases, it is wise to get the advise of a Levittown medical malpractice lawyer.

If you believe your injuries to be a byproduct of a healthcare facility or professional’s negligence, you might have a potentially viable medical error case. With help from a Levittown medical malpractice lawyer, you could improve your chances of effectively seeking compensation. Do not hesitate to speak with a seasoned personal injury attorney.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is a specific negligence claim that occurs when a medical institution or practitioner fails to adhere to established professional standards in the course of employment, and a patient sustains an injury as a result. Examples of medical error include the following:

  • An unnecessary or botched surgical procedure
  • Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
  • Prescription of incorrect medication or dosage
  • Inadequate aftercare or follow-up
  • Failure to order appropriate medical tests or misinterpretation of the results

For an injured patient asserting healthcare provider malpractice to be successful in their claim, they must provide substantial evidence of negligence. Specifically, a claimant must prove a healthcare professional owed them a duty to act according to a specific standard of care, the healthcare professional breached the duty owed, that breach of duty was the direct cause of their injuries from which they have since suffered damages. A qualified medical malpractice attorney from the area could help a wrongfully injured patient to prove negligence on the part of a physician or medical facility.

Statute of Limitations for a Medical Malpractice Claim in Levittown

When filing a medical malpractice claim, one of the most critical facets of the process is to ensure the lawsuit is filed before the legal deadline expires. The statute of limitations establishes the period of time in which a person may bring a particular legal action.

In Levittown, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim stemming from someone else’s negligent act, such as a physician error, is typically two years from when the injury occurred, as provided under  42 Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes §5524(2). A knowledgeable Levittown lawyer with experience working in physician malpractice cases could help to ensure the timely filing and diligent pursuit of a civil claim stemming from a medical error.

Learn How a Levittown Medical Malpractice Lawyer Could Help

While the healthcare industry serves to promote the general welfare, when practitioners and medical institutions fall below the standard of care to which they are held, it could have devastating ramifications. Whether from an improper diagnosis or surgical error, if a patient suffers injury due to a medical professional or facility’s negligence, compensation may be owed for the resulting losses.

If you suffered catastrophic harm or lost a loved one due to a medical provider’s misconduct, do not hesitate to seek legal guidance.
