Boulder Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

Any act or failure to act on the part of a health care professional that deviates from the accepted standards of care in the medical community is considered to be medical malpractice.  Negligent actions on the part of a health care professional can cause injury to the patient in which case a medical malpractice lawsuit may be filed.  It is estimated that between 50 and 60 percent of all doctors in the United States are sued at least once in their career.  At The Law Office of Edward Smith, we realize that doctors are only human and that people make mistakes, but doctors and medical care professionals are held to a very high standard.  When a medical professional fails to provide the proper care to a patient, and the patient suffers as a result, compensation should be provided to the victim.   

A Boulder medical malpractice lawyer can help you make a claim involving the following types of situations:

• Doctor error
• Medication error
• Hospital error
