What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. Some common types of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose a condition in a timely manner, leading to improper or delayed treatment.

  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or performing unnecessary procedures.

  • Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to check for harmful drug interactions.

  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during pregnancy or childbirth that results in injury to the mother or baby, such as cerebral palsy or oxygen deprivation.

  • Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, leading to complications or severe injury.

  • Failure to Obtain Informed Consent: Not informing a patient of potential risks associated with a procedure, leading to uninformed decisions and harm.

Proving Medical Malpractice

To hold a healthcare provider accountable for medical malpractice, you must establish the following elements:

  1. Doctor-Patient Relationship: Proving that the healthcare provider had a duty of care toward the patient.

  2. Breach of Standard of Care: Demonstrating that the provider failed to meet the accepted medical standard.

  3. Causation: Showing that the provider’s negligence directly caused the injury.

  4. Damages: Providing evidence of the harm suffered, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other losses.

Because these cases often involve complex medical and legal issues, having an experienced attorney is crucial.
