“Masterful job and genuine care.”
My surgery was botched, nearly ending my life, and aftercare was inadequate. James Wood Law represented me in the lawsuit. They constantly exhibited vast experience, superb knowledge, and great strategy. They made sure I understood everything and sought my input. Both parties settled satisfactorily. Five stars are not enough.

What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or facility provides care that falls below the accepted medical standard, resulting in harm to the patient. Simply put, it’s a failure to meet the level of care that a competent professional in the same field would have likely provided in the same situation, especially when that failure hurts a patient in some way.

Usually, success in a medical malpractice claim requires the plaintiff to prove the following four elements:

  • Duty: The medical provider owed a duty of care to the patient, which usually exists in a doctor-patient relationship.
  • Breach: The medical provider breached that duty by failing to act according to the accepted standard of care.
  • Causation: The provider’s negligence caused harm or injury to the patient.
  • Damages: The patient suffered measurable harm, whether physical, emotional, or financial, that can be compensated.
