Skilled Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Lawyer
When seeking medical treatment for ourselves or a loved one, we rarely imagine that care could itself result in significant injury or the tragic loss of a loved one. However, health care professionals, like everyone else, can get tired, overworked or distracted, and they can make mistakes. Unfortunately for us, medical errors often have devastating results.
At Berger Law Firm, P.C., in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, we understand how significantly a serious injury or death resulting from medical malpractice can impact your life, causing you physical, emotional and financial hardship. We can help you recover the compensation you need and deserve to get your life back on track.
What Is Medical Malpractice?
The first step toward pursuing a medical malpractice claim is determining whether or not you have a cause of action. Medical malpractice occurs when:
- The accepted standard of care is violated — Health care providers must follow certain guidelines to ensure patient safety; when these guidelines are violated, disaster can result.
- The violation causes an injury — The negligence must be directly linked to the injury incurred. If not, there is no way to prove that malpractice occurred.
- The injury results in significant damage — Unless the injury resulted in some hardship to the victim (including pain, suffering, lost income, additional medical expenses or a loss of earning capacity), there are no grounds for recovery.
