WHEN YOUR TRUST IS BETRAYED
TAKING A LOOK AT MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
When a patient is put under a doctor’s care, they rely on the doctor’s knowledge, skill, and experience to accurately assess, diagnose, and treat their medical condition. Patients place a tremendous amount of trust in their physician, and when something goes wrong, it can be devastating. Many patients are overwhelmed by a sense of betrayal and are confused about who they should turn to for help or how to determine who is to blame. In situations such as these, proving whether anyone is legally at fault isn’t easy. There are many people and organizations, such as nurses, doctors, hospitals, and surgery centers, that can be responsible for someone else’s injuries.
