Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Common types of malpractice include:
Birth Injuries
Mistakes during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can cause lifelong harm to newborns and their mothers. Conditions like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage may result from improper fetal monitoring, failure to perform a timely C-section, or misuse of delivery tools.
Misdiagnosis
An accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. When doctors fail to recognize symptoms or order appropriate tests, patients can suffer unnecessary complications or worsening conditions. Misdiagnosis can occur with serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease, or infections.
Surgical Errors
Even routine surgeries carry risks, but some injuries are completely avoidable. Surgical mistakes like operating on the incorrect site, leaving surgical tools in the body, or causing damage to internal organs can have catastrophic consequences.
Medication Errors
Prescribing or administering the wrong medication—or the wrong dosage—can cause severe health complications or death. Medication errors often occur due to poor communication between doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.
What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Medical Malpractice Claim?
These may include:
- Medical expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and future medical care.
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity: Settlement for income lost while recovering and any reduction in future earning ability.
- Pain and suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, and decreased quality of life caused by the malpractice.
- Loss of consortium: Settlement for the negative impacts of the injury on relationships and family life.
- Wrongful death damages: If malpractice results in a fatal outcome, surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and emotional suffering.
