Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional – such as a physician, surgeon, dentist, pharmacist, psychiatrist, nurse, laboratory technician, or medical assistant – fails to do what a reasonably careful and similarly licensed professional should have done in the same situation. Medical malpractice cases can arise in a variety of situations, such as, when a physician or other healthcare professional:

• Fails to diagnose a condition or disease
• Fails to prescribe or administer the correct type or amount of medication
• Fails to properly monitor or treat a patient
• Fails to gain patient consent for an operation or surgical procedure
• Fails to properly administer anesthesia
• Fails to properly perform an operation
• Causes delivery or birth injuries to an infant or its mother
• Fails to provide appropriate postoperative care and follow-up
• Fails to provide appropriate nursing home care
