Medical Malpractice Claims Lawyers
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Claims arising out of medical malpractice are not necessarily restricted to doctors and can extend to physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, therapists, dentists, and medical specialists, such as dermatologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, urologists, etc.
Common types of medical malpractice include:
Delayed or misdiagnosed: Prompt diagnosis is crucial to your medical care and ultimate recovery. When a doctor fails to quickly diagnose or even wrongly diagnoses the patient, they can miss out on life-saving treatment and suffer injury or death. In such cases, the patient or their family may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the doctor who made the error.
Surgical errors: Practicing surgeons regularly hold the lives of patients in their hands 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 using unclean instruments. Anesthesia errors can also result in permanent injury, brain damage, or death.
Childbirth injuries: Many types of fetal injuries can be caused by medical practice, including brain injuries, fractured bones, brachial plexus injuries, and others. The mother can also sustain injuries due to medical malpractice. Such injuries can be caused by negligence during prenatal care and childbirth.
Medication errors: Prescription drug errors injure millions annually. Errors can be made during the prescribing, administering, or filling stage.
Wrongful Death Claims
In the case of wrongful death, the family of the decedent could recover damages, such as:
- Loss of companionship
- Value of support and services
- Punitive damages
- Burial/funeral expenses
- Incurred medical expenses
- Pain and suffering endured by the deceased
A Common Problem
Medical malpractice happens more often than most people realize. Each year thousands of cases are reported due to negligence regarding surgery, misdiagnosis, overprescription, poor aftercare, premature discharge, and more. In the United States, medical error results in 10% of all deaths. The reality of medical malpractice claims is startling:
- 21% of people have experienced medical errors
- Approximately 33% of medical malpractice claims are misdiagnosis errors
- Nearly 4,000 surgical errors occur yearly in the US
- Between 15-18,000 lawsuits are filed each year alleging malpractice or negligence.

It’s absolutely key to act before the statute of limitations passes. The statute of limitations varies by state, and can even vary depending on the unique situation. The best practice is to contact a highly-skilled Montlick lawyer to help determine your status as quickly as possible.
