What Exactly is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a form of personal injury that occurs when a medical professional does not provide a patient with the standard of care that others would have provided under similar circumstances.
Common types of medical malpractice include:
-
A Failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, or delayed diagnosis
-
Improper patient treatment, such as surgical or medication errors
-
Failure to warn the patient of known risks, surgical or medication-based
The patient must be able to prove that their doctor was negligent and that they incurred damages in order to receive compensation. Damages can include a number of things including past or future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, physical pain, and mental anguish.
