Failure to Diagnose, Misdiagnosis, Physician and Prescription Drug Errors
Medical malpractice is an act or omission by a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider which causes injury to the patient and deviates from accepted standards of practice in the medical community. Even if the patient has signed a release which identifies certain problems that may arise, the health care provider may still be responsible if the injury or complication could have been avoided.
Some of the types of malpractice that can occur are: the failure to diagnose, or misdiagnosis of a disease or medical condition; failure to provide appropriate treatment for a condition; or an unreasonable delay in treating a medical condition. A provider may also be responsible for injuries if no consent for a procedure was obtained from the patient.
Medical malpractice injuries fall under personal injury law. If your loved one has died as the result of medical malpractice injuries, you may have a wrongful death claim.

If you suspect you are a victim of medical malpractice you may have grounds for a lawsuit to recover damages for medical bills, physical rehabilitation and other costs such as pain and suffering and lost wages, if you are the victim of someone else’s negligence.

An attorney will also help you determine who was at fault, evaluate property damage, assess the extent of your physical injuries and determine a course of action to hold liable parties responsible.
