Understanding Medical Malpractice

When a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care expected within their field, they could be liable for medical malpractice. This can occur in various settings, including hospitals, urgent care clinics, nursing homes, and even in-home care. Medical malpractice cases typically involve negligence or errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management.

To pursue a claim, you must typically prove the following:

  • The healthcare provider owed you a professional duty. 
  • The provider's actions (or lack thereof) did not align with accepted standards of medical care. 
  • The provider's breach of a duty of care caused an injury that led to measurable damages.

While proving medical malpractice is complex, our legal team is up for the challenge. Throughout our years of practice, we have secured more record-setting verdicts and settlements than any other Maine firm that takes on medical practice cases. Our successes have enabled locals to move forward with their lives and promoted safer practices in local, state, and national medical facilities.
