Professional Negligence

Overview

Everyone has a duty not to carelessly or purposely harm others. Professionals, such as doctors, pharmacists, nurses and lawyers, owe a duty of care to their patients and clients. If the duty is breached and as a result the patient or client suffers a loss or injury, the professional may be held liable for damages.



Professional Who?

Virtually everyone hires a professional at some point. Unfortunately, professionals sometimes do not meet the standard of care in their profession. In legal terms this means they have committed professional negligence or malpractice.

By far the most common professional negligence is in the healthcare industries, and unfortunately its impact usually causes physical injuries with often catastrophic physical and financial consequences that can last a lifetime. Healthcare negligence covers such things as—

  • Medical Malpractice
  • Hospital Negligence
  • Elder Abuse
  • Nursing Home Negligence

Other types of professionals, by their failure to take proper care according to what is considered the standard of care in their business or profession, can also be sued for malpractice.
