Medical malpractice lawsuits are among the most complex of all injury cases. They are also particularly disheartening because they are filed against the very professionals who are supposed to protect our health and well-being. In other professions, an act of negligence or wrongdoing may not cost the life of another person. In the medical field, doctors and other healthcare professionals deal with the lives of patients on a daily basis.
Common cases of medical malpractice include:
- Prescription drug errors
- Surgical and Misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, failure to diagnose
- Birth injuries and obstetric malpractice – when mother or child are harmed before or during pregnancy and labor
- Anesthesia Errors
- Hospital Negligence
- Nurse Error, plus many more
