Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s negligence leads to patient harm or injury.
In medical malpractice cases, the affected patient or their family may seek compensation for damages due to the medical provider’s failure to meet the expected level of skill and care. Here are a few examples that illustrate different aspects of medical malpractice:
When a doctor fails to correctly diagnose a condition in a timely manner, it can lead to serious consequences. For instance, if a patient’s cancer is misdiagnosed as a less severe illness, valuable treatment time can be lost, potentially affecting the patient’s chances of recovery.
Mistakes made during surgery can have devastating effects. Surgical errors might include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient’s body, or damaging surrounding organs or tissues during the procedure.
Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider potential drug interactions can significantly harm the patient. These errors can lead to severe allergic reactions, worsened medical conditions, or even fatalities.
Medical malpractice can also occur during childbirth. Legal action may be warranted if a healthcare provider’s negligence causes birth injuries to the infant or mother, such as cerebral palsy, due to improper delivery techniques.
Before any medical procedure, patients have the right to be informed about the potential risks, benefits, and alternatives. If a healthcare professional fails to provide adequate information, and the patient suffers harm due to the procedure, it can likely be medical malpractice.
If you believe you are the victim of medical malpractice, there are a few things you should do right away to protect your rights.
