Medical Malpractice is nothing more or less than the negligent or careless giving of medical care. If your doctor, nurse, hospital or other health care provider is careless or negligent in giving you care, and that negligence causes you injury, you are entitled to compensation for that injury and encouraged to file a medical malpractice suit.
For example, in today's world of modern medicine and advanced screening techniques, failure to diagnose certain types of cancer, such as cancer of the breast or colon, in a timely fashion may be medical malpractice. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the chances for survival. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer, you may be the victim of medical malpractice.
