What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is one of the most complex areas of personal injury law. Visiting the doctor is a step you take to heal from your injuries and seek out medical treatment. However, not all doctors are infallible, and oftentimes patients suffer personal injury due to the negligent actions of physicians and other medical professionals. Patients may be misdiagnosed by a specialist and recommend unnecessary surgeries. During surgery, a surgeon may cause a patient to suffer personal injury due to error or mistakes. Plastic surgeons, cardiologists, obstetricians, and general practitioners can all commit medical malpractice.
If you have a medical malpractice claim you need to contact a personal injury lawyer today. Retaining an attorney can help you request medical records, analyze medical bills, and conduct depositions. While you heal from your injuries an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury attorney can help you obtain the financial compensation you deserve.
The Categories Of Medical Malpractice
Many different types of injuries fall under the general category of medical malpractice. The following are the most common forms of medical malpractice.
Medical Product Liability
Products liability is an area of negligence concerning products containing manufacturing defects and design defects. These defects cause personal injury to users and bystanders. The liable party in these cases is typically not a physician but the manufacturer of the defective product. Many prosthetic devices are commonly at the center of medical product liability cases.
Birthing Injuries
Babies and adults can be injured during birthing injuries. Malpractice cases involving birthing injuries can cause emotional trauma and psychological suffering. If you have experienced a birthing injury we can help you organize your claims and prepare your legal arguments.
Surgical Mistakes
Surgical mistakes can be serious and, in the absolute worst cases, deadly. Physicians and surgeons make surgical mistakes that can cause damage to internal organs. If a surgeon uses contaminated equipment you can receive an infection or a serious disease. An anesthesiologist may have administered anesthesia incorrectly. Also, you may have been scheduled for a specific surgical procedure but received a different procedure that caused you physical and psychological harm.
Some unfortunate victims have their limbs amputated because the hospital made a mistake scheduling surgeries. If you suffered injury due to a surgical mistake contact Hall-Justice Law Firm today to schedule a free consultation.
Injuries Caused By Misdiagnosis
It can be devastating to be told you do not have a specific medical condition but realize that you are becoming more and more ill after being sent home from your physician’s office. Misdiagnosis can also result from a medical professional diagnosing you with a condition you do not have.
