MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Effective Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Fayetteville

• The standard of care was breached. Did the healthcare provider exercise a level of care that would be considered acceptable by the medical community under the circumstances? If this standard of care was not met, negligence may be established.
• Negligence caused the injury. Claimants must prove that their injuries would not have occurred if the proper standard of care had been met. An unfavorable outcome from a medical procedure is not, by itself, enough to establish malpractice.
