Burbank Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical Malpractice Lawyers Serving Burbank, Glendale & Pasadena

Medical Malpractice is a general term that describes a doctor, physician, surgeon, or healthcare professional who fails to exercise the degree of care and skill that someone of the same medical specialty would provide under the same circumstances, and as a result of their negligent acts create a new injury for the patient or further aggravate the patient’s existing injury or condition.  Medical malpractice is also commonly referred to as “med mal,” and is so common in today’s society that about half of all American doctors will be sued at least once in their career for medical malpractice.
