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.

How Can a Medical Malpractice Attorney Help?

Can the hospital be held accountable for your injuries? How can you hold the healthcare professional liable? What will you need to prove to recover compensation? Knowing what to do or how to pursue compensation following a medical malpractice incident can be overwhelming.

At Parker Waichman LLP, we can help during this challenging time in several ways, including:

Handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on your recovery.
Be available to answer all of your questions and ensure you remain in the loop throughout the entire process.
Conduct a thorough investigation into your treatment to establish how the medical professional was negligent and how your injuries could have been avoided.
Analyze test results, medical charts, records, hospital policies, provider notes, and other evidence.
Consult with medical experts as we build your case and have them testify on your behalf.
Negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement.
Bring your lawsuit to trial, if necessary.

Who Could Be Held Liable for Medical Malpractice?

The following parties that can be held responsible for medical malpractice include:

Physicians

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.

Surgeons

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.

Anesthesiologists

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.

Pharmacists

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.

Urgent Care Facilities, Hospitals, Clinics

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.

How Much Is My Medical Malpractice Case Worth?

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:

Cost of medical treatment, including the cost of diagnosing the illness or injury, any surgeries, and hospital fees
Cost of future medical care, including ongoing treatment due to a chronic condition caused by the medical malpractice incident
Medical devices
Prescription medications
In-home medical care
Lost wages
Loss of future income
Pain and suffering in certain circumstances

And other losses.

Your medical malpractice attorney will carefully review your case and assess your damages to ensure you pursue every penny of compensation you’re owed.
