If you have been injured because of the negligence of your doctor or other medical professional, then you may have a medical malpractice case. Simply being dissatisfied with the treatment you received is not enough to amount to an actionable claim.
Common malpractice claims include:
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Wrong site surgery or other surgical errors
- Prescription errors
- Birth injuries
- Hospital and Prescription errors, including those that lead to infection or dangerous side-effects
A doctor must fail to perform up to the medical standard that is acceptable in that community and therefore these types of cases are difficult to prove and almost always require a medical expert in the same field to provide testimony that your doctor did something wrong. In addition, if no injury of consequence results from your doctor’s error there may be no claim as well. You should consult a medical malpractice attorney as soon as you realize that an injury has occurred because of the malpractice of your health care providers.
