Unfortunately, healthcare providers often make mistakes. In fact, approximately 195,000 Americans die each year due to medical mistakes made in hospitals.¹ Medical Malpractice claims are governed by the law of negligence. Medical Malpractice occurs when someone is injured as a result of a healthcare provider's deviation from the standard of care.

The determination of whether a healthcare provider has met the standard of care is based on a comparison to other professionals in the same field and the same geographical region. In other words, the question to be answered is whether the healthcare provider failed to do what a reasonable healthcare provider would have done, or did something a reasonable healthcare provider would not have done, under the circumstances.
