Medical Negligence

Medical law is an area of law which governs the responsibilities of medical practitioners and the rights of patients. Notwithstanding the medical practitioners’ best intentions for the patients, occasional mistakes and carelessness are unfortunate realities of medical treatment which may result in pain, injury, financial loss or even death.
