 As patients, we rely on our doctors, nurses, surgeons and other medical providers for our care. Unfortunately, despite their experience, sometimes these medical professionals make mistakes. There are many ways that your medical care can go wrong. All of the phases from diagnosis to treatment can have some type of error. Every year thousands of patients are victims of medical malpractice and suffer serious injury, disability or even death as a result.
What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a form of negligence. Under New Hampshire law, medical malpractice is a negligent act by a medical professional that is contrary to the "accepted standard of care" in that particular medical specialty. A medical malpractice claim may arise if an injury is caused by the medical professional's failure to follow the accepted standard of care. New Hampshire laws require expert testimony on the accepted standard of care.
