What Counts As Medical Malpractice?

Some people assume medical malpractice is limited to obvious mistakes in surgery and other major errors. The truth is that medical malpractice comes in many forms, and some of them are subtle.

Common Forms of Medical Malpractice Include:

  • Improper use of medical equipment
  • Misdiagnosis
  • Dosage errors
  • Sanitation issues
  • Careless behavior
  • Institutional failures
  • Neglect
  • Poor maintenance practices
  • Operation mistakes
  • Miscommunications
  • Rushed or forceful care

When you are uncertain about your medical treatment as it relates to an injury, it is helpful to consider the behaviors of any medical professionals who have cared for you. Similarly, assessing the role of a healthcare organization can reveal larger systemic failures that could constitute medical malpractice.

How is Liability Assessed in a Medical Malpractice Case?

Johns Hopkins Medicine presents research asserting that medical errors are a major leading cause of death in the United States. Many of these errors result from carelessness, neglect, or reckless behaviors on the part of medical professionals. As a victim of these negligent actions, liability plays a major role in your case as it unfolds.

Our lawyer will assess the role of any suspected healthcare entities when considering your case. Did an individual act out of line when preparing for an operation? Did the entire institution fail to uphold its policies? Our lawyers will examine these questions and others as we advocate for your rights.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Communicating with Healthcare Organizations and Other Parties Related to Your Situation

If you are wondering who you should contact if you are injured due to medical malpractice, it is vital to be cautious. Heightened emotions may increase your desire to share your grievances with healthcare organizations, insurance companies, or even strangers. It is advisable to avoid talking about your situation too much, as you will not want to risk damaging any potential legal grounds you may have.

Social media is especially tempting in these kinds of situations. Staying away from posting about your medical malpractice case online makes it easier for your legal team to process all the necessary details. When you work with one of our attorneys, we will relieve you of having to communicate with parties related to your case, such as healthcare professionals, witnesses, and insurance companies.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
