Medical Malpractice Cases
As a lawyer, the common types of medical malpractice cases that I handle include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia errors
- Medical equipment failure
Misdiagnosis: Happens when a healthcare provider fails to correctly recognize and diagnose a patient's medical condition. This may lead to incorrect treatment or a delay in treatment, causing harm to a patient.
Surgical errors: Occur when a healthcare provider makes a mistake during surgery or fails to follow proper procedures before, during, or after surgery.
Medication errors: Happen when a healthcare provider prescribes the wrong medication or dosage, or fails to properly monitor a patient's reaction to the prescribed medication.
Birth injuries: Occur when a healthcare provider fails to provide adequate care during the pregnancy or delivery, leading to harm to the mother or child.
Anesthesia errors: Happen when a patient is given too much or too little anesthesia, causing harm or even death.
Medical equipment failure: Occurs when a medical device malfunctions or was not properly maintained, causing harm to a patient.
It is important to note that medical malpractice cases can be complex, and the outcome may vary depending on the jurisdiction, the specific facts of the case, and the available evidence. It is advisable for anyone who believes they have been a victim of medical malpractice to seek legal counsel immediately. An experienced attorney can help to review the case, gather evidence, and provide guidance on the best course of action.
