These Claims Require Expert Knowledge & Access To The Best Possible Medical Experts
Medical malpractice is the term for any form of professional misconduct in the medical field, including a breach of confidentiality, negligent conduct and a breach of fiduciary doctor-patient relationships. We believe that a doctor must always maintain the highest standard of professional conduct towards both the individual and society.
