Who Can Be Held Accountable For Medical Malpractice?

Although most interactions with medical professionals are one-on-one, there are times when a team of specialists is needed. No matter how little or how many medical professionals you work with, they each have a standard duty of care they must abide by. When a medical professional fails to adhere to these standards, they are putting you and your loved ones in danger.

Some medical professionals who may be held responsible for medical malpractice include:

• Anesthesiologists
• Surgeons
• Obstetricians/gynecologists
• Nurses
• Surgical assistants
• Dentists
• Nursing home staff
• Emergency room personnel

In certain medical malpractice claims, more than one person may have acted negligently. For example, during surgery there may have been more than one surgeon performing the operation, as well as an anesthesiologist and surgical assistants. In Louisiana, comparative negligence will determine the degree of fault each individual had.
