Unsatisfactory Results
Unsatisfactory results of a surgery or treatment, in and of themselves, are not necessarily grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. The absolute success of medical treatment and procedures is not guaranteed, and it is certainly not guaranteed that the results will please the patient. However, a doctor is required to be qualified to prescribe, to treat or to operate, that is, to be both knowledgeable and experienced. Furthermore, a doctor’s actions must meet the standard of care expected of medical professionals in his or her field. If the unsatisfactory results are a consequence of a doctor’s negligence (failure to exercise proper and sufficient care), lack of skill, or lack of knowledge, then they may be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
It is advisable to consult an experienced medical malpractice attorney to determine whether there are grounds to continue with a lawsuit.
