Medical Malpractice 

Doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals employed by hospitals and nursing homes do make mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes happen because the professional to whom you have entrusted your healthcare has been negligent. Unfortunately, such negligence can, and in many cases does, result in devastating injury – even death.

A medical malpractice claim involving a significant injury is complex and expensive. In Maine these claims must first be reviewed by a screening panel before a lawsuit can actually be filed. In almost every case, the claimant must also retain experts, usually medical doctors, to testify that the medical care provided was below the standard of reasonable care. The claimant must also prove that the negligence of the medical professional was the cause of the injury or death.
