Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice law encompasses a broad spectrum of legal issues surrounding errors and negligence occurring within the medical field, affecting various healthcare professionals such as doctors, surgeons, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists and other licensed practitioners. Patients entrust their well-being to these professionals, expecting a standard of care commensurate with their expertise and training. While it is understood that medical procedures and treatments inherently carry certain risks, errors and mistakes attributable to healthcare providers are not considered acceptable risks. Patients have the right to expect competent and diligent care from medical professionals. When such standards are not met, the legal framework of medical malpractice serves as a means for patients to seek accountability, restitution and redress for the harm and suffering caused by medical negligence or error. Some of the medical malpractice cases we handle at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law include:
- Amputation

Medical errors have the potential to result in devastating consequences, impacting not only the physical health but also the overall quality of life of those affected. Individuals who fall victim to medical mistakes often endure prolonged periods of anguish and physical impairment, enduring years of pain and suffering as a result of errors committed by healthcare providers. Medical malpractice legislation exists to provide recourse for these individuals and their families, offering a legal avenue to pursue justice and seek compensation for the myriad consequences stemming from the negligence of medical professionals. This includes coverage for exorbitant medical bills, compensation for lost wages due to inability to work and other related expenses incurred due to injury or loss. Additionally, in certain instances, punitive damages may be awarded to further address the severity of the malpractice and deter similar negligence in the future.
