When you seek medical treatment, you expect and hope that you will receive the best care possible. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Many people suffer serious injury or even die as a result of medical errors. Healthcare providers, including doctors, dentists, nurses, and hospitals, need to be held accountable for injuries to patients due to medical malpractice or negligence.
Medical malpractice can include:
- Birth injury, birth trauma including cerebral palsy, brain damage, and brachial plexus (arm) injuries
- Delay in diagnosis (cancer)
- Surgical error
- Anesthesia error
- Improper consent before a medical procedure
- Failure to diagnose a medical condition
- Improper treatment of an illness or disease
- Prescription drug error
- Numerous other injuries, including death during childbirth, birth trauma, injuries following circumcision, vasectomy, bleeding disorders, and others too numerous to mention.
