What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider breaches the accepted standard of care, resulting in patient harm. Common forms of malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Critical conditions like cancer, heart attack, or stroke are overlooked or diagnosed too late.

• Surgical Mistakes – Errors during operations, including wrong-site surgery, retained surgical tools, or unnecessary procedures.

• Birth Injuries – Conditions like cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries caused by delivery room negligence.

• Anesthesia Errors – Incorrect dosages or lack of monitoring, leading to brain injury or death.

• Medication Errors – Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or harmful drug interactions.

• Hospital Negligence – Poor sanitation, bedsores, post-operative infections, and unsafe discharge practices.

• Emergency Room Errors – Failure to recognize or respond to life-threatening conditions in time.

• Nursing Home Abuse – Elder neglect, dehydration, malnutrition, and medication mismanagement.

• Defective Devices or Drugs – Faulty implants, pacemakers, or pharmaceutical errors causing severe injuries.

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you may have grounds for a malpractice claim.

Serious Injuries Caused by Medical Negligence

Our firm handles malpractice cases involving life-altering injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries – Often from oxygen deprivation, anesthesia errors, or birth complications.

• Spinal Cord Injuries – Leading to paralysis or permanent loss of mobility.

• Birth Trauma – Preventable injuries during labor that affect infants for life.

• Internal Organ Damage – Resulting from surgical mistakes or untreated infections.

• Sepsis and Systemic Infections – Often due to unsanitary hospital conditions or delayed diagnoses.

• Wrongful Death – We advocate for families who have lost a loved one due to negligence.

Proving a Medical Malpractice Claim

To successfully recover damages, four key elements must be proven:

1. Doctor-Patient Relationship – The provider owed a duty of care.

2. Breach of Duty – The standard of care was not met.

3. Causation – The breach caused injury or illness.

4. Damages – The patient suffered harm that justifies compensation.

Our attorneys collaborate with medical experts, analysts, and investigators to build compelling, evidence-backed cases.
