What to Know About Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to follow accepted standards of medical care, causing preventable injury or harm to a patient. These cases are often complex, and even a single mistake during diagnosis, treatment, surgery, or aftercare can lead to life-changing consequences. Common scenarios include delayed diagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or inadequate monitoring in hospitals or clinics.
If you suspect you or a loved one has been harmed by medical negligence, taking immediate action is crucial. Evidence such as medical records, physician notes, diagnostic results, imaging scans, and expert medical evaluations are essential to proving liability. Boyadzhyan Law Firm specializes in medical malpractice claims, working with medical experts, investigators, and healthcare analysts to ensure negligent providers are held accountable.
Symptoms or complications may appear minor at first but can worsen with time, making early legal and medical intervention essential. Our attorneys manage every detail of your malpractice claim—from gathering documentation to negotiating with insurance companies or pursuing litigation—so you can focus on recovery while we fight for your rights.

Improper monitoring, charting mistakes, or failure to follow physician instructions.
Hospitals & Medical Facilities

How Medical Malpractice Insurance Coverage Works
Understanding insurance coverage in malpractice cases can be challenging. Key factors include provider policies, hospital liability, and potential coverage disputes. Important considerations:
Medical Provider Liability Insurance
Most hospitals and physicians carry malpractice insurance to compensate patients for preventable harm.
Hospital Insurance Coverage
Facilities may also share liability if systemic issues contributed to the malpractice.
