  Understanding Informed Consent
  Informed Consent is a physicians duty to disclose information to the patient so that they may make an informed decision based on the information received.
  
  
• Res Ipsa Loquitur
  When proof of Medical Malpractice is difficult or not possible to obtain a legal doctrine may be invoked that can shift the burden of proof from the plaintiff to the defendant. Essentially the defendant would have to show how they were NOT negligent instead of the plaintiff trying to prove negligence.

  Answers to commonly asked questions about Medical Malpractice
  

When illness or injury forces you to see a physician or go to the hospital, you can generally be assured that the doctor's years of experience and training will result in excellent treatment of your ailment. But in truth, physicians are only human and as such, errors are always possible. Medical malpractice occurs when a negligent act or omission by a doctor or other medical professional results in damage or harm to a patient.

Negligence by a medical professional could include an error in a diagnosis, treatment, or illness management. If such negligence results in injury to a patient, a case could arise against the doctor if his or her actions deviated from generally accepted standards of practice; against the hospital for improper care, such as problems with medications, sanitation or nursing care; or against local, state or federal agencies that operate hospital facilities.

Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients' rights to pursue compensation if they are injured as the result of negligence. However, malpractice suits are often complex and costly to win. While theoretically, you can seek compensation for any injury caused by negligence, regardless of its seriousness, time and money make it unrealistic to sue for an injury that is minor or resolves quickly. Therefore, if you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, it is important to consult with an attorney who can help you determine whether your claim is worth pursuing.
