When you seek medical care, doctors and medical staff become responsible for providing you with competent care. You rely on a trained professional to care for you or your loved one, placing your trust in them. Sometimes, you may misplace that trust, and doctors simply make mistakes. The results can be catastrophic when errors occur in diagnosing or treating an illness or injury. Medical malpractice refers to an act or omission by a health care provider (such as a doctor, dentist, nurse, therapist, chiropractor, or hospital) that deviates from the accepted standards of practice in the medical community. These deviations or errors can severely impact a patient’s life.
Some of these errors include:
Birth injuries
- Brain injuries
- Defective drugs (pharmaceutical product injury)
- Delayed diagnosis
- Dental malpractice
- Emergency room mistakes
- Lack of informed consent
- Misdiagnosis (failure to diagnose)
- Misinterpreted lab tests
- Misread x-rays
- Negligent treatment
- Nursing home abuse
- Surgical error
- Wrongful death
