Medical Malpractice Attorney

Medical malpractice is the term used to describe a situation in which a health care provider fails to meet a certain standard of care. When doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health care providers are negligent, careless, or simply make mistakes, the results can be catastrophic and result in serious injury and death.

If you believe that you or someone you love has suffered injury or loss due to medical mistakes, contact us to learn how you can pursue financial compensation.

Types of Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers have a duty of care, or legal obligation to adhere to a certain standard of reasonable care; and when this duty of care is violated, the responsible party(s) can and should be held accountable. There are several ways in which a healthcare provider can violate his or her duty of care and commit medical malpractice.

Some of the most common types of medical malpractice include:

  • Failure to detect a fatal condition such as cancer
  • Failure to timely treat an emergency situation such as heart attack or stroke
  • Failure to communicate with other health care providers and/or the patient about course of action
  • Wrongfully diagnosing a condition
  • Leaving a surgical tool inside a person's body during surgery
  • Operating on the wrong body part or patient
  • Failure to read Xrays or results from other tests properly
  • Administering the wrong type or dose of a medication
