Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers sometimes make mistakes resulting in medical malpractice.  Diseases are misdiagnosed, lab results are misread, surgeries or other medical procedures end with a bad outcome and patients are overlooked or allowed to fall through the cracks. 

Medicine is not an exact science.  Physicians, nurses and all other medical providers must follow the prevailing standard of care, which requires actions or inactions to be in line with what reasonably competent medical professions would do.  For a medical malpractice case, failure to conform or follow the standard of care must have caused or contributed to cause your or your loved one’s injury or death. 

Common types of malpractice include the following:

• Errors in prescribing or administering medication.

• Surgical and hospitalization errors.

• Failure to properly monitor or follow up with the patient.

• Errors involving the administration of anesthesia.

• Adverse reactions (to drugs or procedures) and drug interactions.

• The failure to treat pulmonary embolisms.

• Delays in diagnosing an illness, condition or cancer.

• Medication prescribing errors.

• Emergency rooms lapses.

• Birth injuries to babies and mothers.
