The term "medical malpractice" refers to any misdiagnosis, treatment, lack of treatment or other departure from the accepted standards of medical care, health care or safety on the part of a physician, hospital or other health care provider that causes harm to a patient. A medical malpractice injury can often result in catastrophic consequences.

Areas that fall under medical malpractice injury include (but are not limited to):

• Misdiagnosis by a physician, hospital or other healthcare provider
• Improper or substandard medical care or treatment
• Failure to provide treatment
• Delay in providing treatment
• Failure to follow up properly
• Errors in prescribed medications

Instances of medical malpractice injuries are not always apparent to the average person. Accurate identification of medical malpractice requires a sophisticated analysis by experienced personal injury lawyers - and of course, by the appropriate physicians and medical experts Smiley Law brings to your case.
