Morganton Medical Malpractice

WHAT IS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND WHAT KINDS OF CASES USUALLY CONSTITUTE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE?

Medical malpractice is the same thing as medical negligence. When a "health care provider" is negligent in caring for a patient, that is called medical malpractice. In order for the health care provider to commit medical malpractice or negligence, he or she is said to have "departed from the standard of care." Generally, the standard of care and the and the departure from the same is testified to by the expert witness selected by the attorney. Thus, the expert witness selected by your attorney is of extreme importance in winning a medical malpractice case.

The following are the types of malpractice cases that Carole Gardiner has handled in North Carolina over the last 10 years.
