New Orleans Medical Malpractice

When you’re at a medical establishment, you expect to be treated with the proper amount of care and attention that is needed. But too often, that isn’t how you’re treated. Mistakes happen, and your health is what suffers as a result. How is that fair?

When a patient is injured as a result of medical malpractice in the New Orleans area, a Morgan & Morgan attorney may be able to file a lawsuit seeking compensation on his or her behalf.

  • Types of Medical Malpractice

  • How an Attorney Can Help

    Malpractice lawsuits are tricky, and having an experienced attorney helps immensely. A Morgan & Morgan attorney will undergo a thorough investigation to prove the following four necessities to winning any medical malpractice lawsuit:

    • The defendant owed a duty or care to the injured person. Doctors have a duty to provide their patients with a certain level of care, so as to prevent harm.
    • The defendant breached this duty of care.
    • The patient was injured as a direct result of the breach.
    • The patient suffered damages, such as medical bills, physical pain and suffering and lost wages, due to their injury.

    An attorney can also help determine how much you’re owed for these damages.
