Types of Medical Malpractice Cases Our Firm Handles

Medical malpractice can take many forms, often leaving victims with life-altering consequences.

Below are some of the malpractice cases our firm is prepared to handle:
Our firm is dedicated to investigating the unique circumstances of each type of truck accident to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue the maximum compensation you deserve.

Misdiagnoses or Delayed Diagnosis

A medical professional fails to diagnose a condition correctly or in a timely manner, leading to a lack of necessary treatment or incorrect treatment, which can significantly impact a patient’s health.

Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing unnecessary damage to organs or tissues, can result in life-threatening complications or additional surgeries.

Errors in prescribing, dispensing, or administering medication, such as giving the wrong medication or the wrong dose or causing harmful drug interactions, can lead to serious health risks or fatal outcomes.

Mistakes related to the administration of anesthesia, including incorrect dosage, failure to monitor the patient, or failure to recognize adverse reactions, can cause severe injury or even death.

Injuries to the mother or baby during labor and delivery, which can result from improper prenatal care, mismanagement of labor, or failure to perform a necessary C-section, may lead to lifelong consequences.

When a healthcare provider correctly diagnoses a condition but fails to provide the appropriate treatment, follow-up care, or referral to a specialist, the patient’s condition can worsen unnecessarily.

Hospital Infection

Infections acquired during a hospital stay due to unsanitary conditions, improper sterilization, or failure to follow infection control protocols can lead to prolonged recovery or additional health complications.

Harm caused by medical devices that are improperly designed, manufactured, or implanted can lead to serious injury or the need for corrective surgeries.

Failing to obtain a patient’s informed consent before performing a procedure or treatment—meaning the patient was not informed of the risks, benefits, and alternatives—violates their rights.

Harm caused to patients in nursing homes due to neglect, inadequate care, or abuse by staff members can result in physical or emotional suffering for vulnerable individuals.

Mistakes made in the emergency room, such as misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or improper discharge, can have devastating and immediate effects on patient outcomes.

Qualifying Injuries for a Medical Malpractice Case

While not every poor medical outcome constitutes malpractice, a case may qualify if the injury is directly caused by negligence or a failure to uphold the standard of care. Examples of injuries that could lead to a valid medical malpractice claim include:

  • Permanent Disability or Impairment: Injuries that leave the patient unable to return to their previous quality of life or perform essential functions.
  • Life-Threatening Complications: Severe complications resulting from negligence, such as infections, organ failure, or uncontrolled bleeding.
  • Birth-Related Injuries: Harm to a mother or baby that causes lasting physical or developmental challenges.
  • Worsening Condition: A patient’s condition deteriorates significantly due to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or lack of appropriate care.
  • Unnecessary Surgeries or Treatments: Undergoing procedures that were avoidable and caused harm.
  • Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Severe mental health consequences stemming from medical negligence, such as PTSD following a traumatic birth or surgical error.

If you or someone you love has sustained any of these injuries resulting from a devastating commercial truck accident, you may be entitled to seek compensation for damages.
