Practice Areas

Common Examples of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can happen at any point during a patient’s care, whether during visits to a primary care doctor, medical treatments, or hospital stays. Professionals like doctors, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, hospital staff, dentists, and pharmacists can all commit malpractice. Some common examples include:

Failure to Obtain Patient Information

Accurately collecting patient information is critical to providing proper care. When healthcare providers fail to obtain essential details, serious harm can result. Negligence of this type might include:

  • Not obtaining informed consent
  • Failing to consider the patient’s medical history, including allergies
  • Disregarding the patient’s symptoms or concerns

Anesthesia Mistakes

Errors in administering anesthesia can have severe consequences, including wrongful death or long-term injuries. Examples include:

  • Administering too much anesthesia
  • Failing to monitor vital signs
  • Incorrect intubation
  • Not informing the patient of necessary pre-operative instructions, such as fasting requirements

Birth Injuries

While childbirth should be a time of celebration, medical negligence can lead to birth injuries. Examples include:

  • Failing to recognize or respond to fetal distress
  • Delaying a necessary C-section
  • Improper use of delivery tools, which can result in conditions like Erb’s Palsy

Surgical Errors

Negligence during surgery can occur before, during, or after the procedure. Examples include:

Failing to provide adequate post-op instructions
Operating on the wrong body part
Leaving surgical tools inside the patient
Using unsanitary equipment or working in an unclean environment
And More

If you’ve experienced medical malpractice, you have the right to seek justice. A medical malpractice lawyer in Palm Beach Gardens is ready to defend your rights and pursue fair compensation for your injuries.
