Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a very general term used to describe a treatment, lack of treatment, or deviation from a standard of medical care, health care, or the safety of a patient.  Bottar Leone, PLLC specializes in representing individuals who have suffered injuries as a result of the negligence of a medical care provider.  Many of our medical negligence cases involve:

Before commencing suit, the Firm carefully investigates each potential case with an expert in order to determine:

  • whether a medical care provider was negligent (could the result have been avoided);
  • whether the negligence caused an injury; and
  • what amount of compensation to seek (what type and how much damage was caused)

The simple fact that a patient suffers harm, or a bad outcome, is not automatically compensable.  In fact, in many cases a patient is injured, or left disappointed, through no fault of a medical care provider. A viable medical malpractice suit requires a deviation from an acceptable standard of medical care, damages, and insurance or assets from which to recover.

The trial lawyers at Bottar Leone, PLLC, have decades of experience investigating, prosecuting and trying to verdict all types of medical malpractice cases.  If you, your child or a loved one have been injured due to medical malpractice, you, your child and/or your family may be entitled to compensation for lifelong health care, medical expenses, special education, medical bills, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
