A car accident is a serious and life-changing event that is usually attributed to bad luck. However, studies have shown that over 90 percent of all accidents are caused by human error. The moments after a car accident are critical, as not treating the injured individual adequately or in a timely manner can lead to complications. In addition, medical malpractice after a car accident can occur, resulting in a double whammy – the injured individual’s health complications are further compounded by the actions of a medical professional on account of negligence due to breaching a certain duty of care.

Successive Medical Malpractice and Standard of Care     

There’s a certain standard of care that facilities and medical professionals are required to provide to all its patients. Breaching of this standard of care is illegal and may be a valid reason to file a medical malpractice claim, specifically for successive medical malpractice. This malpractice claim will allow you to recover damages for lost wages, past and future medical bills, the cost of therapy and rehabilitation, as well as pain and suffering, among other damages. It is also vital that you file this claim within two years of discovering your injury in order to retain its validity.
