We understand the many challenges you are facing, and we are here to provide the compassionate support and aggressive representation you need. Our team has a proven track record of success, and we are prepared to fight for you.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. In other words, medical malpractice is a type of negligence that occurs when a healthcare provider fails to act as a reasonably competent and skilled provider would have acted under the same or similar circumstances.

There are four elements of a medical malpractice claim:

  • The healthcare provider owed the patient a duty of care
  • The healthcare provider breached the duty of care
  • The patient suffered harm
  • The patient’s harm was a direct result of the healthcare provider’s breach of the duty of care

Medical malpractice can occur in a variety of healthcare settings, including clinics, hospitals (like the San Juan Regional Medical Center in Farmington, NM), and doctors’ offices. It can also occur in a variety of ways, from misdiagnosing a patient to making a surgical error. Regardless of the specific circumstances, medical malpractice can cause serious harm to patients.
