Medical Malpractice
|
Unlike most other forms of tort or personal injury law, medical health care providers, such as doctors, dentists, hospitals and even nursing homes, are entitled to special protection and even limited liability. In order to pursue a claim against a qualified provider, the case must be submitted to a three doctor panel who will determine whether or not the provider complied with the appropriate standard of care. Although the panel's decision is not final as either side may file suit, the panel's decision is admissible in the case. Furthermore, a qualified provider's individual liability is to limited to $100,000.00. The Patient's Compensation Fund is liable up to an additional $400,000.00, exclusive of future medical costs.
We also practice many other forms of professional liability, such as accountant, architect, attorney, and engineering. |
