As a lawyer specializing in medical malpractice cases, I handle a range of cases relating to medical negligence or errors that result in harm to a patient. Common types of malpractice cases I handle include:
- Surgical errors - Anything from using the wrong instrument during a procedure to operating on the wrong body part, which can result in substantial harm to the patient.
- Medication errors - Involving prescribing the wrong medication, administering the wrong dosage, or failing to recognize adverse drug reactions.
- Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose cases - Arise when a doctor fails to detect a condition or makes an incorrect diagnosis, which can delay necessary treatment and contribute to further injury or complications.
- Birth injuries - Occur at any stage of pregnancy or childbirth, such as the failure to recognize fetal distress or properly monitor the health of the mother and baby during labor and delivery.
- Nursing home neglect cases - Arise when a patient in a long-term care facility does not receive the necessary care or attention and suffers harm as a result.
It is important to note that there may be exceptions or limitations to these general categories of malpractice cases, depending on the specific circumstances of each case and the laws and legal precedents in the relevant jurisdiction. It is also important to consult with a qualified attorney to determine the best course of action and potential options for seeking compensation or redress for any harm suffered as a result of medical malpractice.
