Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Get Your Free ConsultClaims 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.
