What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider doesn’t give the proper care, leading to harm or injury to the patient. This could involve things like failing to diagnose a condition, giving the wrong diagnosis, making mistakes during surgery, causing birth injuries, or errors in the emergency room. To prove medical malpractice, you need to show that the provider didn’t meet the expected standard of care and that their actions directly caused your injury.

Type of Medical Malpractice

We help people who’ve been injured by medical malpractice in various scenarios, including:

• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis: When a healthcare provider doesn’t correctly identify a condition, leading to harm.
• Birth injuries: Harm caused to a baby during childbirth due to improper medical care.
• Surgical and anesthesia errors: Mistakes made during surgery or anesthesia that result in injury.
• Emergency room mistakes: Errors made in the fast-paced ER setting, such as wrong treatment or delays, causing harm.
• Medication errors: Giving the wrong medication or dosage, leading to adverse effects.
• Delayed treatment: Not providing timely care, worsening a patient’s condition.
• Failure to follow up with patients: Neglecting necessary follow-up care, which can cause complications.
• Infections due to unsanitary conditions: Patients contracting infections because of unclean medical environments.

What Successful Medical Negligence Cases Must Prove

To win a medical negligence case, you need to show that your doctor or healthcare provider did not provide the level of care expected. This means proving they acted in a way that was not suitable or reasonable compared to what a typical healthcare professional would do.
