What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission by a health care provider in which the care provided deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to the patient, with most cases involving medical error.

To prove medical malpractice, the patient must show that the health care provider:

  • Owed a duty of care to the patient
  • Breached the standard of care owed to the patient
  • Caused an injury to the patient

The breach of duty and resulting injury must have caused damages.

In other words, the health care provider must have been negligent in their treatment of the patient, which must have caused the patient harm. The harm can be physical, emotional, or financial.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Medical Malpractice?

In most cases, the health care provider who was directly involved in the negligent treatment can be held liable. This could be:

What Are the Statutes of Limitations for Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim in Henderson?

The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a medical malpractice claim. In Nevada, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury or four years from the date of the act of medical malpractice, whichever occurs first.

This means that if you do not file your claim within two years of the date of your injury, you will most likely be barred from doing so. If you do not file your claim within four years of the date of the act of medical malpractice, you will most likely be barred from doing so.

It is important to note that there are some exceptions to the statute of limitations. For instance, if the patient is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended. If the health care provider fraudulently concealed the act of medical malpractice, the statute of limitations may also be extended. If you are unsure whether the statute of limitations applies to your case, you should contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer who can advise you of your legal options.
