What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or facility fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonable provider in the same field would have offered under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to the patient.

Medical malpractice can occur in various medical settings, including hospitals, private practices, nursing homes, and even outpatient clinics.

Common examples of Medical Malpractice include:

Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or performing the wrong procedure.

Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to accurately diagnose a medical condition, leading to a delay in treatment and worsening of the patient’s condition.

Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to account for drug interactions, leading to harmful consequences for the patient.

Birth Injuries: Mistakes during childbirth, such as improper use of forceps, failure to monitor the baby’s vital signs, or not responding to complications in a timely manner.

Anesthesia Errors: Errors made during the administration of anesthesia, such as incorrect dosage or failure to monitor the patient’s condition during surgery.

Nursing Errors: Failure by nurses to provide appropriate care, administer medications properly, or monitor patients’ vital signs, leading to serious injury or death.

Prolonged Recovery Time: A longer-than-expected recovery period after treatment or surgery may indicate that something went wrong.

Miscommunication: If your healthcare provider failed to clearly explain risks, procedures, or diagnoses, this may contribute to a case of malpractice.
