Types of Medical Malpractice You Should Know
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides a patient with treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care within that field. Claims arising from medical malpractice are not necessarily restricted to doctors, and can include nurses, hospital staff and other medical professionals. Common types of medical malpractice include:
Delayed or misdiagnosis: Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial to your medical care. When a doctor fails to diagnose a condition in a timely manner, or provides the wrong diagnoses altogether, this can affect overall health outcomes, even leading to serious injury or death. In such cases, the patient or their family may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim.
Surgical errors: Practicing surgeons hold the lives of patients in their hands on a regular basis and mistakes made during surgery can have catastrophic results. Surgical errors can include leaving instruments within the patient’s body, operating on the wrong part of the body, and failing to use properly cleaned instruments leading to serious infection. Anesthesia errors can also result in permanent injury, brain damage, or death.
Childbirth injuries: Medical malpractice can also be found in prenatal care and/or during childbirth. These injuries can impact the mother, the baby, or both, including brain injuries, fractured bones, and brachial plexus injuries.
Medication errors: Prescription drug errors injure millions annually. Errors can be made during the prescribing, administering, or filling process.
