What is Medical Malpractice?

When a healthcare provider causes injury to a patient by performing or neglecting to perform an act that deviates from the norms of care, this is known as medical malpractice. Strict criteria must be met in order for a case to classify as medical malpractice.

Our experienced medical malpractice attorneys at Taylor King Law in Jackson can help you determine whether you have a medical malpractice claim to pursue.
