In general, healthcare providers who have a duty of care to their patients can be sued for malpractice if they breach that duty and cause harm to the patient. Healthcare providers can include physicians, nurses, therapists, dentists, chiropractors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals.
However, it is important to note that there may be limitations or exceptions to this general rule. For example, government employees may be protected by sovereign immunity, which can make it more difficult to sue them for malpractice. In addition, some states may have specific laws or limitations on malpractice lawsuits, such as caps on damages or requirements for expert testimony.
If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney who can evaluate your case and advise you on your legal rights and options. Your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit, negotiating a settlement, or pursuing other legal remedies to ensure that you are properly compensated for any harm caused by the healthcare provider's negligence.
