Medical malpractice is one of the most devastating forms of negligence. Patients trust healthcare providers with their lives, but when that trust is broken due to incompetence, misdiagnosis, or poor medical care, the consequences can be catastrophic. The Ortega Firm, under the leadership of Tanya Ortega, is dedicated to protecting the rights of victims of medical malpractice, ensuring that they receive compensation for the injuries or losses caused by negligent medical professionals.

• What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
  Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide the standard level of care expected in their field, resulting in harm to the patient. Common examples include surgical errors, failure to diagnose, improper treatment, and prescription mistakes. These cases often require expert testimony to prove that the medical professional acted outside the accepted standards of care.
