We all rely on medical professionals—doctors, physicians assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, EMT, and pharmacists, and more—for their care, compassion, and expertise. We entrust them with our lives and wellbeing, as well as the lives and wellbeing of our family and loved ones. When we do so, medical providers are obligated to meet certain professional standards, known as the “standard of care,” based on the norms and expectations of their profession.
Raleigh NC Attorneys Fighting for Patients Harmed by Medical Negligence and Malpractice
Unfortunately, medical providers sometimes fall short of that standard, with catastrophic consequences. When a patient is harmed by the negligence of a medical provider—such as misdiagnosis, infection mismanagement, surgical errors, or improper medication—patients’ lives are irreparably altered. Potential harms include not only physical pain and suffering, but also major medical expenses, emotional trauma, family
stress, and professional consequences. But while you are focused on piecing your life back together, the negligent provider and their insurance company are readying their defenses to avoid liability and minimize your recovery.

What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes harm or injury to a patient. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. For a case to be considered medical malpractice, it must be proven that the healthcare provider violated the standard of care, and that this violation directly caused harm to the patient. Common examples of medical malpractice include surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis, medication errors, and failure to treat a serious condition in a timely manner.
