But if you believe your doctor failed to meet the certain standard of care required by law, they may have committed medical malpractice. Healthcare providers must use their best judgement in split-second decisions to provide potentially lifesaving treatment. As a result, determining whether a provider is liable for medical malpractice requires thorough investigation and careful legal analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--.qa-faq-answer-->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!--.qa-faq-->\n\t\t\t<div id=\"qa-faq1\" class=\"qa-faq\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qa-faq-title\"><a class=\"qa-faq-anchor\">Is the hospital responsible if my doctor committed medical malpractice?<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qa-faq-answer\"><p>Possibly. If your doctor was employed by the hospital, or if the hospital made its own mistakes (such as failing to properly manage patient records or hiring unqualified personnel), a hospital may be held liable for your physician\u2019s malpractice.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--.qa-faq-answer-->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!--.qa-faq-->\n\t\t\t<div id=\"qa-faq2\" class=\"qa-faq\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qa-faq-title\"><a class=\"qa-faq-anchor\">How much can I expect in compensation for medical malpractice?<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qa-faq-answer\"><p>The amount you can recover depends on the extent of your losses. In many medical malpractice cases, victims face years of recovery that require extensive treatments, surgeries, rehabilitative therapies, and follow-up care. You want to make sure that your financial recovery includes the money you need to pay for current and future medical care. If your resulting injuries or conditions leave you in pain, with permanent impairments, or unable to work or enjoy life, these factors can support additional claims for financial compensation.<\/p>\n<\/div><!--.qa-faq-answer-->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!--.qa-faq-->\n\t\t\t<div id=\"qa-faq3\" class=\"qa-faq\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qa-faq-title\"><a class=\"qa-faq-anchor\">How do I choose the right medical malpractice attorney to take my case?<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qa-faq-answer\"><p>When pursuing just compensation for medical malpractice, you need to put\u00a0<em>relevant<\/em> experience on your side.
