The following parties that can be held responsible for medical malpractice include:
Physicians are often thought of when it comes to cases of medical malpractice. Physicians handle a variety of treatments in the medical field, which opens them up to making more mistakes. Misdiagnoses, failure to diagnose, prescription medical errors, or failure to properly treat, are just some examples of the types of negligence a physician can commit.
Surgeries, regardless of how invasive, require the utmost attention to detail. When negligence is committed during surgery, it can have severe consequences. Because of this, lawsuits involving surgical error lawsuits must be handled carefully.
An anesthesiologist administers powerful drugs. Whether it’s general or local, the administration of these powerful drugs requires a high degree of precision and skill. When an anesthesiologist is negligent, their negligence can result in severe, long-term health consequences. A victim of a medication error in anesthesia can wake up during an invasive procedure, suffer from brain damage, or die.
A pharmacist can commit several types of medication errors including filling a prescription with the wrong medication or wrong dosage. Medication errors can result in serious health concerns.
Many people do not know that a medical facility can sometimes be held liable for medical malpractice. A medical facility can be held liable if an illness or injury was caused by unsanitary or unsafe conditions or was the result of negligent hiring practices.
When it comes to particular types of medical malpractice cases there is no set dollar amount. Some cases may be worth a few thousand dollars, while a similar case may be worth significantly more. What matters is that the victim of the medical malpractice should be compensated for all injury-related costs now and in the future.
These expenses may include:
