Legal Help Bringing a Medical Malpractice Claim in Wisconsin

Medical malpractice is the failure of a healthcare provider to take reasonable care and follow appropriate medical procedures to the detriment of a patient. Medical malpractice includes negligence committed by any type of healthcare professional (such as a doctor, nurse, dentist, or even an anesthesiologist) or healthcare facility (such as a hospital or clinic).

Because healthcare professionals can never guarantee results and because unexpected things can happen during the course of medical care, a medical malpractice case cannot be based on bad results alone. It is based on proving "negligence" — that the medical provider failed to meet an acceptable standard of care. As such, it is not always immediately apparent that an injury was caused by negligence. Every medical malpractice case will require thorough investigation and consultation with medical professionals for an injury attorney to prove the case.

If you believe you were harmed, or that your medical condition worsened because a medical professional was negligent, contact Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C. (PGU) to speak with an experienced Wisconsin medical malpractice attorney.
