What Are Examples of Medical Malpractice?

There are many different types of medical malpractice, some of which result in relatively minor injuries and others which are far more serious. The following are some of the more common types of medical malpractice claims: 

• Misdiagnosis – This is when the medical professional gives the wrong diagnosis to a patient. This could end up making their actual condition much worse as it goes untreated.
• Delayed Diagnosis – This is when the professional does give the right diagnosis, but only after a long waiting period. Many diseases and medical conditions, like cancer, can progress and worsen if a healthcare professional does not catch it early. 
• Prescription Errors – If a doctor prescribes the wrong medication, or the right medication in the wrong dosage, then that could cause serious complications for the patient.
• Surgical Errors – There are many examples of surgical mistakes, each of which could have devastating consequences for the patient. The surgeon could accidentally perforate an organ, operate on the wrong body part, or even leave a surgical instrument inside the patient. 
• Anesthesia Mistakes – The anesthesiologist is an important part of any surgical procedure, but applying too much, or too little anesthetic could cause problems for the patient.
• Poor Aftercare – After a serious procedure, such as invasive surgery, the patient needs good post-operative care in order to fully recover. For example, failure to properly monitor incision sites could lead to infection or bleeding, either one of which could cause serious consequences for the patient.

Should I Hire a Lawyer For My Medical Malpractice Case? 

You should if you suffered a significant and costly injury because of the malpractice. That is because medical malpractice cases are expensive and time-consuming so you should only investigate and file the lawsuit if your damages are significant and the potential compensation is substantial.

If your medical malpractice case is worth pursuing, then you should definitely hire a lawyer because these kinds of cases can be very complicated. So you will need an experienced attorney to navigate the legal complexities and give you the best chance of obtaining the compensation that you need.
