Medical Malpractice Attorney
A qualified and experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help you to seek justice and a fair settlement. When the medical professionals and the hospitals you trust to provide proper care fail you, the experts at The Ruth Law Team are here to help.
Medical malpractice is the result of a breach of duty by a medical provider or facility. This could take many forms, from staff members failing to follow set protocols to poor coordination among medical teams. It can also include misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or treatment, or failure to provide treatment altogether.
According to a 2016 study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, medical malpractice is actually the third leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting over 250,000 patients each year. However, because of CDC reporting criteria, it doesn’t even appear on the list of leading causes of death. This number doesn’t account for the many instances of medical malpractice that do not result in death.
If you’ve suffered from medical malpractice that leads to significant side effects, disability, or the death of a loved one, you deserve compensation that will cover your medical bills and related expenses or loss. A qualified and experienced medical malpractice lawyer can help you to seek justice and a fair settlement.

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice
Because there are so many potential types of medical malpractice, it’s not always easy to tell when it has occurred. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, or failure to diagnose
- Delayed treatment or failure to treat
- Prescription medication errors (wrong medications or incorrect dosages)
- Anesthesia errors
- Surgical errors
- Unnecessary surgeries
- Birth injuries
- Procedural errors
- Failure to inform patient of risks
- and more
Another type of medical malpractice centers around a lack of informed consent. In this scenario, medical professionals fail to properly explain the potential risks of a procedure, so any consent given by a patient is not considered to be fully informed.
In some cases, medical malpractice can result in minor injuries, but it can also cause serious injuries that require long-term care or recovery, as well as permanent disability or death.
When this occurs, you need the expertise of the medical malpractice attorneys at The Ruth Law Team. We’ll guide and support you throughout the process of negotiating the maximum compensation in your case.
