This video features Francis V. Cristiano, a Medical Malpractice attorney based in Colorado.
There's a big difference between medical malpractice and a failed procedure. If a surgery, operation, or other form of treatment doesn't have the desired effect, this may not necessarily be grounds to file a lawsuit. However, if the medical team deviates from the normal standard of care, or otherwise makes a serious error, then the patient could have grounds to file a medical malpractice suit.
We spoke to attorney Frank Cristiano to learn more about medical malpractice and what a patient should do when facing the negative outcomes of a medical procedure.
- How do you define medical malpractice?
- Can someone file a medical malpractice lawsuit even if they signed a medical waiver prior to the procedure?
- How can a lawyer tell if a case has validity?
- What are medical malpractice caps, and how can they affect a lawyer's decision to accept a case?
- What is the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act? Can you sue a public employee?
- How does it feel to help people through a crisis brought on by medical malpractice.
