Liability for Kingsbridge Medical Malpractice

Many people are harmed by medical malpractice each year. According to one study in Stat Pearls, “Even with substantial tort reform surrounding the topic of medical practice, the AMA states that 1 in 3 clinicians are sued at least once throughout their career, with some surgical specialties having an even greater chance of being sued.” There are many steps that healthcare providers should take to prevent harm.

• Healthcare providers should follow all health and safety regulations.
• Healthcare providers should only work with licensed physicians.
• Healthcare providers should work to understand a patient’s medical history.

When a healthcare provider offers care that deviates substantially from accepted standards of care, this could serve as evidence of negligence. Any person who is harmed by medical malpractice is able to seek some measure of accountability through a civil claim. This right extends to the surviving family members of any person who died. They are able to seek some measure of accountability through a wrongful death claim.
