A medical malpractice attorney can help determine liability in a claim. Potential defendants include:

Hospitals, outpatient treatment facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and makers of defective medical devices may also be held responsible for your injury.

In order for you to obtain compensation for medical expenses and other damages, you must be able to show that the party in question:

  • owed you a duty of care;
  • failed to uphold his or her duty; and
  • acted negligently (which in turn, caused your injuries).
