Cummings Law professional Nashville medical malpractice attorneys represent clients in lawsuits and lawsuits that arise when people are injured by the irresponsible or intentional acts of a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital, or other care providers for health.
When these actions cause an injury to a person (but the actions do not rise to the level of crime), they are known as 'civil law', or tort, which can lay the groundwork for a lawsuit.
When it is determined that a person is legally responsible for injuring someone else, he is responsible for those injuries and may be required to pay the injured person compensatory damages.
Compensatory damages are intended to place an injured person back to the position he had before being injured. Punitive damages are intended to punish offenders and prevent them from re-injuring others.
