Understanding Medical Malpractice

Definition of Medical Malpractice:

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. This deviation can be due to negligence, carelessness, or a lack of skill.

Common Examples of Medical Malpractice Cases:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to diagnose a condition promptly can lead to worsening health outcomes.
• Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part, using incorrect surgical techniques, or leaving surgical instruments behind are all examples of surgical errors.
• Anesthesia Errors: Medication mistakes or improper monitoring during anesthesia can have serious consequences.
• Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider allergies are all medication errors that can cause harm.
• Birth Injuries: Errors during pregnancy, childbirth, or newborn care can lead to lifelong disabilities for the baby.

Burden of Proof in Medical Malpractice Claims

In a medical malpractice case, the burden of proof lies with the patient. You must demonstrate the following:

• Doctor-Patient Relationship: A doctor-patient relationship existed between you and the healthcare professional involved.
• Breach of Duty: The medical professional deviated from the accepted standard of care.
• Causation: The breach of duty caused your injury or illness.
• Damages: You suffered damages due to the medical error.
