What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to perform their duties following the accepted standards of medical care, leading to harm or injury to a patient. It can happen during diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. While not every negative medical outcome constitutes malpractice, some mistakes are preventable and warrant legal action.

Here are a few examples of medical malpractice:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis - Failing to diagnose a condition properly or promptly, which can result in unnecessary suffering, incorrect treatment, or an illness's progression.
  • Surgical errors - Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or poor surgical techniques leading to complications.
  • Medication mistakes - Prescribing incorrect medications, the wrong dosage, or failing to account for harmful drug interactions.
  • Birth injuries - Harm to infants or mothers during labor and delivery caused by negligence, like failing to monitor vital signs properly or delaying necessary C-sections.
  • Anesthesia errors - Incorrect anesthesia administration or monitoring resulting in surgery complications.

When a healthcare provider’s actions or omissions cause harm, victims have the right to pursue justice for the consequences of these preventable errors.
