Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Lawyers Wichita | Are Medical Malpractice Cases Common?

Due to the fact that medical errors are very common and happen every day, many patients or their loved ones might wonder if they are a victim of medical malpractice. However, according to medical malpractice Attorney Ryan A. Prochaska of PHP Law Firm in Wichita, Kansas, “Actual medical malpractice cases are very rare.”

What, then, is medical malpractice? Medical malpractice is when a health care provider fails to deliver the “standard of care” and it results in harm, injury or even death. The “standard of care” is based on the rigorous education and training health care providers receive— truly the basis from which they determine how to treat various signs, symptoms and patient histories. Simply put, the “standard of care” is what a reasonable health care provider would do given the same or a similar situation.

Although medical malpractice cases are rare, when medical malpractice does occur, the consequences can be very serious and even deadly. In fact, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the United States.
