While some forms of medical malpractice are obvious and hard to mistake (giving a patient the wrong medication, performing an incorrect surgery, etc), other instances of medical malpractice can be harder to immediately detect as such. For example, if someone suffers injury from a doctor-recommended treatment (and had not been appropriately warned of this risk), this could be medical malpractice.
Hold the Responsible Party Accountable
Medical Malpractice
Generally speaking, medical malpractice claims occur when a medical professional fails to provide a patient with proper treatment – and this error creates a new injury for the patient. If this happened to you, a medical malpractice attorney can help.
It is important to note that a new injury must be evident, since it would be unreasonable to hold a medical professional responsible for the original medical issue a patient was seeking treatment for in the first place.
Some examples of actions that can be considered medical malpractice include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Failure on the part of a doctor to diagnose a medical condition
- The misdiagnosis of a medical condition by a medical professional
- Failure to treat a medical condition appropriately
- Failure to safely administer anesthesia to a patient
- Failure of a nurse or other medical staff professional to keep a patient’s treating physician informed of the patient’s condition
- Failure to properly and safely administer medications to a patient
- Failure to protect a patient from bodily harm — including falls and other injuries on hospital or office property
