Examples of Medical Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice can manifest in various ways, each significantly impacting patient health and well-being. Common examples include:
Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose a condition in a timely manner, leading to incorrect treatment or a lack of necessary treatment.
Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth that results in injury to the baby or mother, such as cerebral palsy or fractured bones.
Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, causing harm to the patient.
Failure to Treat: Discharging a patient too soon or failing to provide follow-up care, resulting in worsening of the condition.

If you’ve experienced any of these situations or other instances where you believe the care provided fell below the accepted standard, you might have a medical malpractice claim. These examples serve to illustrate the breadth of medical malpractice and underscore the importance of consulting with legal professionals to assess your specific circumstances.
