Common Medical Malpractice Causes
Medical malpractice can occur anytime a patient is being cared for and at anytime during their care. Many failures may result in a claim for medical negligence, including failing to:
- Properly manage a pregnancy or safely deliver a baby
- Properly diagnose a patient’s disease or injury
- Leaving a sponge or surgical instrument in the patient
- Operating on the wrong part of the body
- Properly treat a condition
- Properly prescribe a drug or treatment
- Properly administer a drug, medication or treatment
- Cease an ineffective treatment
- Recommend or provide appropriate diagnostic testing
- Inform about available treatment
- Obtain a patient’s consent
- Fully inform a patient of the risks before treatment
- Perform surgery appropriately
- Perform the correct surgery
- Anticipate problems associated with the condition or injury
It is important to keep in mind that no medical professional can guarantee a cure or other successful outcome. Unsatisfactory results are not automatic grounds for a malpractice suit. However, if you believe you have a claim due to medical negligence — for example, a surgical error or birth injury — our experienced team of lawyers can help you evaluate your claim and advise you on the best strategy for moving forward.
