Medical Malpractice

When one goes to see a doctor or checks into a hospital, he or she is placing their life in the hands of the doctor and the hospital in the hopes the doctors will be able to cure their ailment. However, doctors and hospitals often make mistakes that can lead to catastrophic injury and sometimes death. Not all hospital deaths are the result of medical malpractice however; medical malpractice often involves negligence by the medical provider or medical error. Doctors can render an incorrect diagnosis, prescribe the wrong medication, give inadequate care, make a surgical mistake, use defective medical devices or even deliver a baby improperly. Any of these alone or a combination of the aforementioned, can be considered medical malpractice. Nursing home negligence or abuse can also constitutes medical malpractice. Doctors are expected to provide their patients with a reasonable standard of care and any deviation from this standard may be considered medical malpractice. Medical malpractice isn’t limited solely to doctors and hospitals—it applies to nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.

Medical malpractice can lead to devastating injuries, including:

• Birth injuries

• Child injuries
