Des Moines Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Doctors, nurses, dentists, chiropractors and all medical professionals are highly trained to care for patients. They have spent years in school learning how to keep people safe and healthy and heal those who are sick or injured. They want to do the right thing for their patients and have good intentions, but in certain instances serious mistakes are made that cause catastrophic injury and loss to a trusting patient and his or her family. These cases are rare, but if there is a departure from the standard of care there should be careful investigation into whether negligence has harmed the patient and whether others are at risk.
