Price Benowitz LLP Launches Medical Malpractice on Website
Online, February 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Rockville, Maryland - Price Benowitz LLP now provides a wider range of legal services to the people of Maryland and Washington DC. The law firm has added a Maryland and DC Medical Malpractice practice group.
A DC or Maryland medical malpractice case includes, but is not limited to, any of the following: surgical injury, birth trauma, prescription error, medical equipment malfunction, psychiatric malpractice, wrongful death, misdiagnosis, missed or delayed diagnosis, negligence, radiology error, emergency room error, and lack of informed consent.
"When you need medical attention or treatment for an illness or injury, you want the best possible medical care. You should be able to seek treatment confidently, with a reasonable expectation that your quality of care will meet a standard recognized by health care providers throughout the medical community," explains the firm's websiste. "Unfortunately, not all medical professionals adhere to the best practices. If, through inexcusable error, negligence, recklessness, or carelessness, their failure to provide an acceptable level of care causes a patient's injury, the medical practitioner has committed medical malpractice. If you are a victim of medical malpractice, seek justice and compensation for your injuries with the help of a qualified Maryland medical malpractice lawyer."
Furthermore, the firm's website points out:
"All medical treatment and procedures have inherent risks. If a physician fails to inform you of those risks, and you sustain an injury as a result of the procedure, you may have a valid medical malpractice claim. However, a doctor's provision of informed consent and your signature on an informed consent form do not excuse the physician from providing you with a recognized standard of care. Negligent or careless medical treatment is inexcusable."
When a patient goes to a medical professional for medical help, he expects a high degree of competency. When such expectations are not met, as evidence by an injury that could have been avoided through proper care, Price Benowitz LLP advises a victim to get the advice a DC medical malpractice lawyer.
