Medical Malpractice
Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice, a form of personal injury, happens when you are harmed due to someone else’s negligence. However, these cases are governed by stricter laws, making them more complex to navigate. Typically, medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider—such as a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or physician assistant—fails to meet the accepted standards of care in their field, either through an action or a failure to act appropriately.
Medical malpractice claims demand thorough preparation.
The standard of care for a healthcare professional is typically determined by how another professional with similar qualifications would have acted in the same circumstances that caused your injury. Establishing this standard often requires detailed casework and expert testimony. Medical malpractice insurance companies are often aggressive in defending healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics, hoping to deter you from pursuing your claim or pressuring you into accepting a settlement far below the true value of your case.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical negligence, you need experienced legal representation. At Maxx Compensation, we have extensive expertise in medical malpractice cases across the United States and are dedicated to fighting for the compensation you rightfully deserve.

Medical malpractice claims are rarely straightforward and often involve multiple areas of law, requiring the identification of additional third-party defendants. In some cases, it may not be the patient who suffers from the malpractice, but rather a loved one who is severely injured or even loses their life as a result. In such instances, a wrongful death claim should be pursued without delay.
The impact of medical malpractice can vary widely, with some consequences being minor, while others present serious, long-lasting, or even permanent health risks. Maxx Compensation is dedicated to helping you recover both economic damages (such as medical expenses and property damage) and non-economic damages (including pain, suffering, loss of life enjoyment, and diminished earning capacity).
States to pass early offer law for medical injury claims
In certain states, victims of medical malpractice may be offered early settlements through alternative legal processes designed to expedite claims. While these early offers can seem tempting, they often come with significant disadvantages. For instance, some states have introduced laws like New Hampshire’s 2012 “Early Offer” bill (RSA 519-C), which allows injured patients to accept a quick settlement following medical negligence. However, choosing this path can severely restrict a victim’s ability to obtain full compensation. Under such systems, patients lose the right to seek non-economic damages—such as pain and suffering—and are often prohibited from challenging the determination of economic damages if they feel the amount is insufficient.
If you’ve been harmed by medical malpractice, it’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney before considering any early settlement offers. This ensures that your rights are protected and prevents you from inadvertently giving up compensation you may be entitled to under standard legal procedures.

What are some common types of medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice can occur at any stage of your diagnosis, treatment, or recovery process following an illness or injury.
Errors made by healthcare providers are just one aspect of the issue. Another closely related factor is hospital negligence, which often coincides with medical malpractice. Hospital negligence can take many forms. For example, if a hospital is negligent in its hiring, training, or supervision practices, it may employ underqualified doctors or surgeons who endanger patients. Similarly, if a healthcare facility lacks proper staffing, overworked professionals may miss critical details during procedures. Additionally, if a hospital hires an incompetent contractor to clean linens, patients may contract infections due to improper sanitation.
The following is a basic example of how a negligent mistake can adversely affect your health:
Failure to diagnose or delayed treatment leading to the progression of an injury or condition.
Errors during surgery, such as anesthesia mistakes, damaging or perforating organs, leaving foreign objects inside the patient, performing surgery on the wrong site, or even confusing patients and conducting the wrong procedure on the wrong individual.
Medication mistakes, such as illegible handwriting causing prescription or dosage errors, failing to account for all current medications leading to harmful interactions, or prescribing medication to the wrong patient.
Mistakes during childbirth that result in birth defects, brain injuries, or even the death of the mother, child, or both.
Criminal conduct within a healthcare facility, such as employees stealing or diverting prescription pain medication.
What should you do if you think you are a victim of medical malpractice?
Taking on a medical malpractice claim by yourself is not advisable, nor should you place your case in the hands of an attorney without experience in negotiating settlements or litigating medical malpractice cases. The law surrounding medical malpractice can be complex and difficult to navigate, requiring extensive investigation and preparation. Maxx Compensation offers a free consultation and, in most instances, works on your case at no cost until you are compensated.
The first step in pursuing a medical malpractice claim is to consult with an attorney who is well-versed in the laws and procedures related to these cases. Each medical malpractice case is unique. The attorneys at Maxx Compensation will listen carefully, ask pertinent questions, evaluate the strength of your case, and provide you with the legal guidance and important considerations you need to know when pursuing your claim.
