Medical malpractice is the professional negligence of a doctor, nurse, dentist, hospital, or other health care professional. A bad result due to the care and treatment of a doctor foes not automatically mean that malpractice has occurred. Malpractice occurs when a health care professional negligently or intentionally fails to follow commonly accepted or acknowledged standards of medical care. If the doctor’s deviation from the standard of care causes death or injury, a medical malpractice case may exist.

In the United States, 5% of the physicians cause 54% of the medical errors. Only one out of eight preventable medical errors results in a medical malpractice claim, and only one out of sixteen injured victims receive compensation for their doctor’s malpractice. Only 17% of the U.S. doctors who have made five years or more malpractice payouts have ever been disciplined by their State Medical Disciplinary Board.

In Connecticut, nearly 70% of the medical malpractice jury verdicts result in a verdict in favor of the doctor. These statistics demonstrate how difficult it is to prevail in a medical malpractice case. Therefore, your selection of a medical malpractice attorney could mean the difference between collecting monetary compensation for your injuries or not.
