What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice may be defined as a failure to provide a standard level of care to a patient. To go into further detail, it may include an act or failure to act that constitutes a deviation from acceptable care that a reasonable medical professional would have provided in the same or similar circumstances.
Many victims of medical malpractice may be unaware that their experience may be a case of medical malpractice. There are three main signs that you might have a medical malpractice claim: lack of informed consent, extraordinary consequences, or a healthcare provider informing you of the mistake.
You may have a medical malpractice case if a procedure was performed without your express consent. Similarly, if there were errors in the operating room such as medical equipment that was unaccounted for and later found in the patient, you may want to discuss your case with a medical malpractice attorney.

“David Kates knew every single detail of my extremely complicated medical malpractice case.”
I made the best choice when I decided to go with David Kates as my attorney. I waited 7 years to finally have the opportunity to tell my story to a jury and he truly put his heart and soul into my case. He was up against another top-notch lawyer at my trial. He was very impressive in the courtroom and he also spent an enormous amount of time before trial preparing. He knew every single detail of my extremely complicated medical malpractice case. He exceeded my expectations and I was truly blown away after watching him at trial. It was a very emotional time for me and he was so supportive. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.- Crysti B.

I highly recommend working with David. From our first conversation, he was an attentive listener and a very clear communicator. He is very good at what he does and has lots of proven experience as evidence. I felt supported every step of the way working with David even when it came to talking about some of the more difficult stuff. He's a great advocate and I'm grateful to have had him on my side.- Chelsea F.

Working with David as my personal injury lawyer was more than I could have asked for. Upon meeting David, he took the time to sit and listen to my story, heard my concerns, and walked me through the process of what to expect, and he thoroughly prepared me for all matters involved. He is empathetic, professional, and tough when necessary. I'm so thankful for his tenacity with my trial, and for never backing down when I sometimes felt all hope was lost - David never let me lose sight of the bigger picture, ever! Thank you, David... you truly were remarkable.- Kristine I.
