What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. This can include a wide range of negligent actions, from misdiagnosis to surgical errors. If you believe that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to seek legal representation right away. Our Michigan medical malpractice lawyers can help you understand your rights and options.
Medical malpractice can occur in a variety of ways. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis: When a doctor fails to diagnose a condition or diagnoses a condition that the patient does not have, the patient can suffer serious harm. Misdiagnosis is one of the most common types of medical malpractice.
- Delayed Diagnosis: When a doctor fails to diagnose a condition in a timely manner, the patient can suffer serious harm. This is especially true for conditions like cancer, which can spread rapidly if not treated right away.
- Medication Errors: Medication errors can occur when a doctor prescribes the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or fails to consider a patient’s allergies. Medication errors can also occur when a pharmacist fills the wrong prescription or the wrong dosage.
- Surgical Errors: Surgical errors can occur when a surgeon operates on the wrong body part, leaves a foreign object inside the patient, or makes an error during the surgery. Surgical errors can also occur when a surgeon fails to take the patient’s medical history into account.
- Birth Injuries: Birth injuries can occur when a doctor fails to take the proper precautions during the delivery process. This can include failing to order a C-section when necessary, failing to monitor the baby’s vital signs, or using too much force during the delivery.
What are the Most Common Injuries Caused by Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice can cause a wide range of injuries. Some of the most common injuries caused by medical malpractice include:
- Brain Injuries: Brain injuries can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal cord injuries can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
- Paralysis: Paralysis can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
- Amputation: Amputation can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
- Organ Damage: Organ damage can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
- Internal Bleeding: Internal bleeding can occur when a doctor fails to monitor a patient’s vital signs, fails to order the necessary tests, or makes an error during surgery.
