Types of Medical Malpractice

Doctors and medical professionals – including nurses, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, paramedics and anesthesiologists – who are responsible for a patient’s care and wellbeing can be held responsible for malpractice if their treatment falls below the standard of care established by the medical community. This is determined by identifying how a similarly trained professional would have acted under the same circumstances.

Hospitals, walk-in clinics and other healthcare facilities can also be found liable for medical malpractice.

Some of the most common types of malpractice our Stuart medical malpractice attorneys have seen include:

Anesthesia Errors

If a patient receiving anesthesia is injured or dies, the negligent professional may be held responsible. Anesthesiologists act negligently by:

Failure to Diagnose

Failing to properly diagnose a medical condition can have serious consequences for a patient who may not receive the appropriate treatment, could receive unnecessary treatment or not receive any treatment at all. Misdiagnosing a condition is just as bad as failing to diagnose. In the severe cases, the patient may die without proper care.

A physician may have been negligent if he or she did not:

Errors in the Emergency Room

Even though emergency rooms can be hectic environments, doctors and other medical professionals are still required to provide high standards of care. Negligence in the emergency room can include:

Medical Device Errors

Serious injuries often result when a medical device fails because it is defective or was misused by a medical professional. In these cases, the victim and their family may be entitled to file a product liability lawsuit for a defective product or a medical malpractice lawsuit if the negligence was on the part of the doctor.

Hospital Negligence

Hospitals have a duty to ensure their staff and medical professionals have the appropriate education, certifications and experience required for their positions. If an injury or death occurs because of an underqualified or poorly trained professional, the hospital may be liable for the resulting damages.

The hospital may also be held liable in cases where the staff acts negligently by making inaccurate diagnoses, neglecting patients, fails to follow hospital protocol and more.

Postoperative Care

A medical professional’s job is not finished once surgery is over. Attending physicians have an obligation to care for and monitor the condition of a patient in their recovery after an operation. Any neglect in this duty that causes harm to the patient may be considered malpractice.

The Stuart medical malpractice attorneys at Gordon & Partners have seen many cases that fall into these categories. As accomplished attorneys in this field of practice, we have successfully helped numerous clients recover just compensation for harm caused by a negligent practitioner.
