    We all place trust in our healthcare professionals and require them to give us the best advice. These are the experts that know what to do when we are dealing with life and death situations. Their knowledge is what we rely on to feel better and move on with our lives.

    Sometimes this advice creates severe injuries or causes the patient to die. In situations like this, your healthcare professional and their organization are required to give you the best care. This means that they don’t rush into decisions and pay attention to what they are doing. Any mistakes can be critical and lead to adverse consequences for you.

    This is referred to as medical malpractice. It involves many different kinds of mistakes, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and not receiving the correct amount of prescription medication. All of these factors will harm your health. Situations like these are when you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

    Medical malpractice is something that doesn’t occur a lot. But when it does, the payouts and settlements are much larger. Last year, the Health Care Stabilization Fund paid out $29.4 million for 79 cases. These settlements show that medical malpractice does happen, and when you file a lawsuit you will receive a significant settlement for lost wages, medical bills, pain, suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
