Medical Malpractice
Advances in modern medicine have saved countless lives and improved the quality of life for many more. Despite the innovations and refinement of existing techniques, patients sustain injury from the very doctors, nurses, and hospitals responsible for protecting their health and safety. Unfortunately, medical malpractice, or medical negligence, is all too common. Medical professionals are required to abide by medical standards to care for their patients. If they fall below these medically accepted standards, they may be liable for your injuries. At The Casper Firm, we can evaluate your medical malpractice case and explain your options for filing a claim against the medical provider.
Types of Medical Malpractice
Statistics regarding medical malpractice in the United States are quite shocking. In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control found that there were more than 720,000 reported hospital-acquired infections; this figure is limited to hospitals alone, not taking into account the infections contracted at outpatient facilities and smaller medical offices. Healthcare-associated infections are just one type of the many injuries patients suffer in hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, urgent care or surgical centers. Some of the more common forms of medical negligence include:
- Surgical errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Improper anesthesia
- Pharmacy errors
- Dispensing incorrect medication to patients
- Nursing negligence
- Hospital errors
- Wrongful death
These missteps can result in various injuries, including:
Medical personnel may also be responsible for acts of omission, failure to treat or delaying in the treatment of a patient. Failure to diagnose or treat a condition can severely impair the health of a patient. Failure to diagnose a condition such as cancer or heart disease, for example, can have devastating effects on a patient’s prognosis and ability to receive treatment.
