Common medical malpractice claims include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Some of the most common missed diagnoses include cancer and meningitis
- Childbirth injuries: Due to negligence, newborns may experience nerve damage, brain damage, and fractured bones during delivery and while in the nursery
- Medication negligence: Common mistakes include prescribing drugs that are detrimental to the individual and mistakenly giving the wrong drug at the pharmacy
- Surgery errors: These include accidental nerve damage, leaving foreign objects inside the body, and more extreme cases such as when a surgeon operates on the wrong body part
- Anesthesia: Errors while administering anesthesia can lead to fatal complications, or can cause the patient to wake up during surgery, creating more complications
Action Can Be Brought Against a Variety of Health Professionals
In addition to medical doctors, malpractice suits can be filed against other medical professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors. Due to the Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations, it is imperative that you take action as soon as possible should you suspect malpractice. Starting the legal process as early as possible increases your chances of a favorable outcome.
