MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Effective Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Fayetteville
Complicated claims need accomplished lawyers
In Arkansas, the Fayetteville malpractice attorneys at the Martin Law Firm represent patients and their families in medical malpractice cases involving catastrophic injuries or death. Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor or other healthcare worker is negligent and injures a patient. The negligence may involve errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or health management. For an injury to be considered the result of medical malpractice, these standards must be met:

- 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.
- The negligence caused damage. To pursue a medical malpractice claim, patients must prove that they suffered some real harm as a result of the healthcare provider’s failure to meet the appropriate standard of care.
