Joseph Agiato, Getting A Medical Malpractice Lawyer


The increasing number of incidents regarding medical malpractice has caused 
great disturbance all over the world. Medical malpractice is now considered as 
among the leading causes of deaths and personal injuries that occur in 
hospitals. It happens when a health care provider, mostly doctors, nurses and 
medical personnel, deviates from the accepted standards of practice in the 
field of medicine. By their negligent acts or omissions, a patient either dies 
or is severely injured.  However, when we say medical practice, this does not 
pertain alone to doctors, surgeons or nurses. They also rightfully include 
dentists, therapists, pediatricians, general medicine practitioners, and even 
the hospital or institution where these medical personnel work. 
 We must likewise keep in mind that in medical malpractice cases, the burden of 
proof is always upon the plaintiff claiming for damages. This is not an easy 
task to undertake, as our courts require substantial and convincing evidence to 
hold the medical practitioner liable. Once proven however, the burden of proof 
now shifts to the defendant to show that the injury sustained by plaintiff was 
caused not by his or her negligence, but by some other factors. 
 Under these circumstances, the victim should consider getting the legal 
services of an expert Medical Malpractice Lawyer who can greatly help him in 
discharging his duty of proving liability on the part of the defendant. The 
Medical Malpractice Lawyer will have three things in mind in case an action for 
personal injury claim has been filed. First, he should show that the health 
care provider failed to exercise the necessary care that a patient should have 
received (negligence). Second, that the patient has suffered injury (damages). 
And lastly, that the failure to exercise reasonable care and diligence has 
caused the plaintiff?s damages or injury (proximate cause). 
 Indeed, Medical malpractice cases are very complicated. When one has been the 
subject of a medical malpractice incident, the victim can make a claim for 
damages against the medical practitioner who caused him the injuries. To have a 
more formidable personal injury action, the victim must get the rightful 
Medical Malpractice Lawyer to handle his medical malpractice claim.
