What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice refers to the act or omission by a healthcare professional that deviates from the accepted standards of care, leading to harm to the patient. This legal concept is grounded in the principle that healthcare providers have a duty to stick to a specific standard of care when treating patients. When they fail to meet this standard, and harm occurs as a result, they may be held liable for medical malpractice.

Common Causes of Medical Malpractice

Understanding the common causes of medical malpractice is crucial for both potential plaintiffs and their legal representation. Identifying negligence in a medical setting can be challenging, but certain patterns often emerge. Some common causes of medical malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to correctly diagnose a medical condition or delay can have serious consequences. It may lead to incorrect or delayed treatment, worsening the patient's condition.
• Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, like wrong-site surgery, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or anesthesia errors, can result in severe harm and long-term complications.
• Medication Errors: Administering the wrong medication, the wrong dosage, or failing to consider a patient's allergies or potential drug interactions can have serious consequences.
• Birth Injuries: Errors during childbirth, such as improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction, may result in birth injuries affecting both the mother and the newborn.
• Failure to Obtain Informed Consent: Medical professionals are bound to inform patients of the potential risks and benefits of a treatment or procedure. Failure to receive informed consent can lead to legal repercussions.
