Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standards of care, resulting in harm to the patient. In the worst cases, medical malpractice can even lead to death. Medical negligence can take various forms, including:

  • Misdiagnosis:When a healthcare professional fails to correctly identify a patient’s condition, leading to delayed or incorrect treatment.
  • Surgical Errors:Mistakes made during surgery such as wrong-site surgery, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, and performing unnecessary procedures.
  • Medication Errors:Prescribing incorrect medications or incorrect dosages that result in harm to the patient.
  • Birth Injuries:Harm caused to an infant during pregnancy, labor, or delivery due to medical negligence.
  • Anesthesia Errors:Administering too much anesthesia or failing to monitor a patient’s vitals during surgery can lead to serious injuries or even death.

These are just some examples of common types of medical malpractice cases, but there are many other ways healthcare professionals can be negligent and cause harm to their patients.
