Medical Malpractice Attorney in Washington, DC

Doctors, healthcare workers, and all other medical professionals must provide treatment that meets or exceeds the standard set by the medical community. This allows all patients to receive the same level of comprehensive care, no matter their geographic location. When the care provided by a medical professional doesn’t meet this standard, it could result in medical malpractice.

For example, if a woman is undergoing heart surgery and the surgeon fails to notice obvious symptoms of lung cancer, the doctor could be held liable due to the delayed diagnosis of her cancer symptoms.
