Common Types Of Medical Malpractice
Diagnostic errors, such as misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, are a top cause of medical malpractice claims. When a diagnosis is missed or delayed, it can lead to severe health complications. For instance, an incorrect cancer diagnosis can involve unnecessary or even dangerous treatment.
Other forms of medical negligence include:
- Surgical errors: Causing preventable harm during surgical procedures
- Nursing errors: Harming patients from inadequate training, misinterpretations or miscommunication
- Medication errors: Prescribing or administering improper dosages or incorrect medications
- Doctor negligence: Failing to provide the accepted standard of care, harming vulnerable patients
- Birth injuries: Causing cerebral palsy and other conditions from childbirth mistakes
- Anesthesia errors: Causing injury or illness from incorrect anesthesia
Emergency room errors can also arise in these fast-paced crisis environments, often with devastating results.
