Doctors and physicians can make errors, but it is their responsibility to uphold a standard of care in their profession. Medical malpractice causes over 200,000 deaths per year in the United States, making it the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. Dental or medical negligence can also cause patients to sustain minor or serious injuries and illnesses as a result of surgical errors, infections, paralysis, wrong diagnosis, and more.

Lawyers must prove that a medical professional violated the standard of care, and as a result of that violation, the patient was injured. That is why at JD.MD, we evaluate medical malpractice cases for merit and provide medical expert witnesses so lawyers can obtain a positive outcome in court and get the justice their clients deserve.
