Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is more common than patients might think. It occurs when a medical professional fails to provide the medically accepted standard of care to their patient resulting in harm and damages to that patient. Any medical professional may commit malpractice, not just a doctor or surgeon.
A medical malpractice claim might include any of the following:
- Doctors
- Dentists;
- Anesthesiologists;
- Cosmetic surgeons;
- Pharmacists;
- Chiropractors;
- Nurses;
- Physician Assistants;
- Medical technicians;
- Psychiatrists; and
- Optometrists.
A medical facility may also be liable for medical malpractice.
Common Medical Malpractice Claims
The variety of medical practitioners and facilities open to medical malpractice claims vary significantly, as do the injuries. Some of the most common medical malpractice injuries involve:
- Emergency room mistakes;
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis;
- Surgical errors or unnecessary surgery;
- Prescription errors;
- Birth injuries;
- Nursing home errors; and
- Failure to monitor a patient.
Preventing Medical Malpractice
Many medical malpractice injuries are unpredictable. However, patients can take the following steps to help protect themselves from some forms of medical malpractice:
- Research and get referrals from trusted sources before accepting new medical providers;
