Q
I HAD A BAD RESULT MEDICALLY. DOES THAN MEAN I HAVE A GOOD MALPRACTICE CASE?




A

Not necessarily. In general, there are no guarantees of medical results. Just because you have a bad result does NOT mean that there was malpractice or medical negligence. To have a good malpractice claim, we have the burden of proving that your injury or damages was caused by the doctor’s deviation from the appropriate standard of care for your condition. This is the degree of care and skill that the average qualified doctor would provide to a patient who sought medical care for similar symptoms and circumstances.

We can help you to determine if your case has merit. Many mistakes are simply that, but if your doctor’s mistake was the result of negligence or failure to meet the expected standard of care, then the answer may be “Yes”. To find out for sure, feel free to send a detailed E-mail regarding your circumstances to info@zifflaw.com and we will quickly let you know whether we think you might have a claim or not. There is no charge for this evaluation.
