How Does Malpractice Happen?
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical provider (doctor, surgeon, nurse or other health care professional) acts in a manner that deviates from the accepted standard of care in that medical community and causes harm. This can result in negligent treatment or errors, such as:
- Anesthesia errors
- Medication and prescription errors
- Emergency room errors and delays
- Failure to diagnose: cancer, heart conditions, meningitis, stroke
- Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Gallbladder surgery error causing bile duct injury
This is only a partial list of medical malpractice examples. If your injury was caused by a different occurrence, contact us to discuss your case.
The Injuries May Be Severe
Malpractice can cause very serious injuries, including:
- Brain damage and spinal cord injuries
- Birth injuries
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Wrongful death
Not every bad outcome is the result of malpractice. However, if you believe you were the victim of medical malpractice, let's talk about your case.
