    If you have been the victim of a medical mistake, you may be entitled to financial compensation to cover medical costs, loss of wages and medical care. Cases involving medical malpractice include the following:

    Hospital Malpractice  – Hospital staff may fail to follow up on test results, ignore safety guidelines such as washing hands, or diagnose and treat patients for the wrong medical condition.

    Surgical Errors – These include wrong-site surgeries, retained foreign objects such as surgical instruments and sponges, wrong surgeries performed, and causing damage to organs.

    Emergency Room Malpractice – ER malpractice involves providing the wrong treatment, aggravation of a current health condition, and misdiagnosis.

    Substandard Care – Medical professionals have a responsibility to provide their patients with quality care. Substandard care includes errors made in diagnosis, birthing processes, prescriptions, treatment, and surgical procedures.

    Diagnostic Errors – Mistakes made in reading tests, evaluating a patient’s symptoms, and failure to explore all possible health conditions may lead to a delay in diagnosis and accurate treatment.

    Medication Errors – Giving a patient the wrong dose or prescribing the wrong medication can cause irrevocable harm to that patient. These errors can be attributed to medical staff or pharmacists.

    What Is Medical Malpractice?

    When you seek medical treatment for yourself or a family member, you trust that the doctor or hospital will provide you with the right answers and care needed. However, some doctors and medical facilities fail in this responsibility through negligence or mistakes. If you or a family member are the victim of errors made by medical staff, you have the right to seek financial compensation for the damages caused. This is referred to as medical malpractice and includes injury claims as well as claims of wrongful death if the malpractice resulted in the loss of a loved one. Medical malpractice claims can be complicated, as you must prove that the medical facility or staff intentionally or negligently acted in a manner which caused you to suffer harm. 

    What Should I Do if I Have Been Injured by a Medical Professional?

    Time is of the essence when it comes to filing a medical malpractice claim. One of the first things you should do is contact a medical malpractice attorney.
