Common Causes of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can occur in various healthcare settings, from hospitals and clinics to dental offices and pharmacies. These cases typically arise from the following common causes:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Healthcare professionals may fail to correctly identify a medical condition or take an unreasonable amount of time to diagnose, leading to a worsened medical outcome.
- Surgical Errors: Surgeons may commit mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or making errors during anesthesia administration.
- Medication Errors: Prescription and medication mistakes can have severe consequences, including wrong drug administration, incorrect dosage, or medication interactions.
- Birth Injuries: Obstetric malpractice can result in birth injuries to both the mother and the baby, such as cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, or other long-term complications.
- Lack of Informed Consent: Medical professionals must obtain informed consent before treatment or procedure. Failure to do so can result in legal action.
- Nursing Home Neglect: Elderly residents in nursing homes may suffer neglect or abuse, which can harm their health.
