Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence or mistake results in harm to a patient. Common types of medical malpractice include:  

• Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside the patient, or causing unnecessary harm.  

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to diagnose a condition or delaying the diagnosis, which can lead to worsening conditions or even death.  

• Medication Errors: Prescribing or administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider drug interactions.  

• Birth Injuries: Harm to a newborn or mother due to negligence during labor and delivery, resulting in conditions like cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy.  

• Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, or failing to properly monitor a patient, which can lead to serious injury or death.

If you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation for:   

• Medical Bills: Coverage for the cost of additional medical treatment, surgeries, or rehabilitation needed to address the harm caused.  

• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time off work for recovery or treatment.  

• Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life caused by the injury.  

• Long-Term Care: In cases of severe injury or disability, compensation for ongoing care, home modifications, or assisted living.
