What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?

When you seek medical attention for a health concern and are instead injured during treatment, it can be disorienting, painful, and confusing. You may not know whether you have a valid medical malpractice case, but medical malpractice can take many forms, including:

• Medication errors
• Birth injuries
• Anesthetic errors
• Diagnostic errors
• Surgical injuries
• Failure to diagnose
• Failure to provide adequate treatment
• Injuries suffered when seeing a specialist

Medical malpractice cases are special types of personal injury cases that can be very complex due to multiple parties being involved, such as the medical facility, staff, doctors, equipment vendors, medication vendors, and insurance companies. An experienced medical malpractice lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP, can investigate your case and handle communication with everyone involved.

A successful medical malpractice case can involve different types of witnesses and evidence, depending on the unique circumstances surrounding your case. However, it will come down to proving that the other party failed to uphold the high standard of care.
