Our Delaware Lawyers Will Define Whom You Can Sue for Medical Malpractice
You can seek financial compensation from a physician who did not provide you with treatment that met the acceptable standard of care. However, physicians are not the only healthcare providers who can be accountable for medical malpractice. The at-fault parties in a medical malpractice claim could also include:
- Nurses
- Dentists
- Chiropractors
- Technicians
- Anesthesiologists
- Nurse practitioners
- Physician assistants
Healthcare facilities can also be liable for medical malpractice, including hospitals, labs, rehab centers, and nursing homes. If applicable, we will also pursue compensation from a medical equipment manufacturer.
