Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the failure of a medical provider to observe medical standards of care. When a doctor, nurse or other caregiver provides substandard treatment and care, injury or death may result. Medical errors are the third most frequent cause of fatality in the United States, behind heart disease and cancer.
Medical malpractice giving rise to a potential lawsuit may include:
- Failure to Diagnose
- Improper Diagnosis
- Failure to Timely Treat
- Failure to Monitor
- Surgical Complications
- Misread Radiology Films
- Misread Pathology Slides
- Misprescribed Medication
Hospitals, doctors, nurses, chiropractors, therapists, lab technicians, medical staff and all other medical providers involved in patient treatment and care may be held responsible for injuries caused by medical malpractice.
