What Constitutes Physician Negligence?
Physicians have a duty to conform their medical treatment to the acceptable standard of care of similar physicians in the United States. Even though a physician may claim that his treatment was a "judgment call," that judgment must be within the standard of care.
Examples of Physician Negligence
- Failure to order property treatment
- Failure to make appropriate referrals
- Failure to prescribe
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to keep up with advances of practice
When something goes wrong while under the care of a physician, patients may not know where to turn for answers. Hospitals are quick to deny any wrongdoing.

We can help you find the answers you need to move forward with your life.
