Understanding Medical Malpractice in Virginia
Medical malpractice refers to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, and other medical practitioners, that results in harm to a patient.
In the state of Virginia, medical malpractice occurs when the standard of care provided by a healthcare provider falls below what is considered reasonable, leading to injuries or adverse outcomes. To prove medical malpractice in our state, you must establish that the healthcare professional had a duty of care towards you, they breached that duty by failing to meet the standard of care, and this breach directly caused your injury.
If you've suffered due to medical malpractice, it's important to have experienced legal representation on your side.
