Doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare workers are among the most often sued careers in the country. This is because the potential for negative outcomes is simply much higher than in other jobs that don’t quite literally place someone’s life in your hands.

This is due in large part to the fact that it is difficult to separate a negative outcome that’s a natural risk of a procedure from a negative outcome that occurred due to a doctor’s negligence. Even more difficult to separate is the difference between medical negligence and medical malpractice. Keep reading to learn more about determining whether or not a doctor is liable for your negative medical outcomes, as well as what the differences are between negligence and malpractice.

If you believe that your insurance company is unfairly denying your claim, paying you less than you’re owed, or otherwise stringing you along, you might be wondering if you have any legal recourse. Keep reading to learn more about whether or not you can sue your own insurance company for denying your claim.
