Most Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Here are several of the most common injuries our clients suffer in medical malpractice lawsuits.

• Misdiagnoses – When your doctor incorrectly informs you that you have a disease, illness, or syndrome, this is referred to as a misdiagnosis.

For example: Being diagnosed with the flu when you have Lyme disease.

• Delayed diagnoses – A delayed diagnosis happens when your illness, disease, or syndrome isn’t diagnosed in a reasonable amount of time.
• Failure to diagnose – When a doctor fails to diagnose an illness, medical malpractice can be claimed due to negligence of care. With a proper diagnosis, treatment could have been arranged, but due to the failure, the issues remained or became worse.
• Unobserved drug interactions – Being administered a new drug and then not observing the patient for any interactions or allergies can lead to serious issues.
• Surgical mistakes – When the surgeon takes the wrong limb, operates on the wrong person, or performs the wrong procedure.
• Lab test errors  – Failure to identify lab tests accurately could lead to worsening conditions or death.
• Birth injuries – Maternal mortality in America is very high, lagging behind several other wealthy countries. Several of these reasons are preventable, including hemorrhage or infection. If you were damaged due to the negligence of your birth doctors or lost a loved one during childbirth, contact us for a free consultation.
• Lack of cleanliness – Hospitals and clinicians have a duty to keep themselves, their tools, and their premises clean and safe for patients.
• Lack of staffing – If there wasn’t enough staff to properly care for you and it led to your injury or a fatality, you may have cause for a lawsuit.
• Wrong medicine administration or prescription – Administering or prescribing incorrect medication could cause numerous problems from lack of proper care, medical negligence, or even death.

Why does medical malpractice happen?

While medical malpractice shouldn’t happen, there are many reasons it could.

• Fatigue – Doctors who are tired or fatigued make mistakes. A medical malpractice lawyer will be able to guide you through proving the negligence that goes hand-in-hand with a doctor not getting the proper rest or care required by their job.
• Lack of staffing – Inadequate staffing can lead to overworked clinicians and doctors. Surgeons, nurses, doctors, and everything in between are vital in keeping a hospital running smoothly. A lack of staffing makes multitasking clinicians more likely to miss something important.
• Lack of supplies – Not having enough of or the proper type of supplies can lead to substitutions that aren’t nearly as good as the recommended ones. This can be as simple as a lack of cleaning supplies, bedding supplies, medical supplies, or needed medications.
