Medical Negligence

Medical negligence or malpractice occurs when a medical practitioner or health care provider fails to exercise the degree of care expected of a person of ordinary prudence in protecting a patient from risk of harm. A plaintiff must establish, by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant had a duty to the patient, that such duty was breached by failing to conform to the required standard of conduct, and that the negligent conduct caused the harm to the patient.

Expert witnesses much be obtained to establish the wrongfulness of a medical practitioner’s negligence. In addition, the recent trend to reform tort litigation has resulted in several procedural hurdles and damage caps in malpractice cases.

Mr. Kalil employs a team of experts, such as registered nurses, paralegals, investigators, and various medical expert witnesses to thoroughly establish your case and obtain the maximum amount of compensation to assist you.
