As a lawyer, I can advise that medical malpractice includes cases where a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse, fails to provide the standard of care expected in the medical community, resulting in harm or injury to a patient.
Examples of cases that may fall under medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, medication errors, delayed treatment, and birth injuries.
Limitations and exceptions to medical malpractice can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, there may be a statute of limitations on bringing a claim, as well as specific requirements for proving negligence or causation. Additionally, some types of medical professionals, such as military doctors or government-employed physicians, may have limited liability protection.
If someone suspects they may have been a victim of medical malpractice, they should seek the advice of a licensed attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases. The attorney can review the specific circumstances of the case and advise on the appropriate next steps, which may include gathering evidence, filing a claim, and pursuing legal action.
