Common Forms of Medical Malpractice
- Primary Care and Doctor Malpractice: Errors by primary care physicians, such as misdiagnosis, prescribing incorrect medication, or failing to order necessary tests, can cause patients serious harm. These mistakes often delay crucial treatments, worsening a patient's condition.
- Hospital Malpractice: Hospitals are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of patients. Failures in administration, staffing, or emergency care protocols can lead to preventable injuries and at times even death.
- C-Section Injuries: Negligence during cesarean section procedures can harm both mother and child. Common issues include surgical errors, anesthesia complications, and infections.
- Delayed Diagnosis: A delay in diagnosing conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or infections can greatly reduce the effectiveness of treatment and jeopardize a patient's health and well-being.
- Misdiagnosis: When patients receive an incorrect diagnosis, they may receive unnecessary or harmful treatments, while the real underlying condition may remain untreated. Misdiagnosis cases are often linked to overlooked symptoms or misinterpreted test results.
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes like operating on an incorrect body part, leaving tools in the body, or causing nerve damage can result in long-term health issues and potential disabilities for patients.
Each of these scenarios underscores the importance of seeking knowledgeable and trusted legal representation to address the physical, emotional, and financial impact of medical negligence.
