Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional’s actions deviate from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. It can encompass various situations, including:

1. Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery include operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient’s body.
2. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose or promptly diagnose a medical condition, leading to delayed or improper treatment.
3. Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to account for potential drug interactions.
4. Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth, resulting in harm to the baby or mother, such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or other birth-related injuries.

We can help you determine what type of claim you have and what you can expect from the process of making a medical malpractice claim.

Defining Medical Malpractice

To establish a medical malpractice claim, it is necessary to prove the following elements:

1. Doctor-Patient Relationship: A professional relationship existed between the healthcare provider and the patient, establishing a duty of care.
2. Breach of Duty: The healthcare provider failed to meet the recognized standard of care, deviating from what a competent medical professional would do in similar circumstances.
3. Causation: The provider’s negligence directly caused the patient’s injuries or worsened their condition.
4. Damages: The patient suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result of the healthcare provider’s negligence.
