Medical malpractice and negligence occur when doctors, nurses, physician assistants, or other medical staff make errors that other licensed professionals would have avoided or they failed to take measures that other professionals would have taken. The standard of care is something that all medical professionals take seriously but there are bad actors in every field of practice.

Manuel J. Solano understands the law surrounding medical malpractice. Negligence in medicine can occur by misdiagnosis, surgical mistake, failure to provide proper treatment, or failure to obtain informed consent from the patient.

Proving malpractice is two-fold. First, it must be demonstrated that the patient was in fact harmed by the medical professional. Second, there must be proof to support the claim that the doctor or staffer failed to act in accordance with the standard of care or did not act as a reasonable licensed professional would have.
