Types of Medical Malpractice

The term “medical malpractice” refers to a wide range of accidents and injuries. Doctors and other healthcare workers can be said to have engaged in malpractice when their failure to uphold standards of care harms patients. Medical malpractice is, in other words, a highly specific sort of negligence that many find particularly egregious. We all put a great deal of faith in medical workers and the time, education, and practice they put into obtaining knowledge beyond what the general public understands. It is devastating when they betray our trust.

At Denman & Lerner Co., L.P.A., we understand that. We take on medical malpractice cases of all types.

Misdiagnosis
When we get injured or fall ill, we rely on medical experts to assess our condition and treat our symptoms appropriately. After undergoing a physical examination and various tests, healthcare workers diagnose our condition and prescribe various modes of treatment.

Unfortunately, some healthcare workers make the wrong diagnosis, preventing patients from receiving the care they require. Doctors may also wait too long to make a diagnosis, which can result in serious health consequences.

Inappropriate Medication
An incorrect diagnosis naturally leads to an inappropriate treatment plan. As many treatment plans involve complicated, side-effect-heavy medications, the risks involved skyrocket when you’re told to take medication for a condition you don’t even have.

Birth Injuries
Birth injuries can have life-long consequences. Physician negligence can result in your child being afflicted by Erb’s Palsy, cerebral palsy, and other physician-initiated birth defects.

Nursing Home Neglect
Doctors, nurses, and aides working in nursing homes owe a duty of care to their patients, who are often our nearest and dearest relatives. Should they ignore this duty, or if they otherwise neglect or harm their patients, bedsores, bruises, and other, more severe injuries can be the result.

Other Errors
Many things can go wrong in a medical setting–especially in the emergency room, where healthcare professions work quickly to aid patients who are suffering acutely. At Denman & Lerner Co., L.P.A., we’re here to help with emergency room malpractice claims, as well as claims resulting from:

● Nursing errors
● Surgical and other medical mistakes
● Anesthesia injuries

Reach out to discuss your situation with us today.

Consequences of Medical Malpractice

● Brain injuries
● Birth injuries
● Paralysis
● Spinal cord injuries

In the worst cases, malpractice can even lead to wrongful death. We’re here to provide comfort, hope, and the security you feel when you know someone is fighting for you.

Medical Malpractice Compensation

● Medical expenses
● Lost wages at work
● Mental anguish, pain, and suffering
● Loved ones’ funeral and burial expenses

But bear in mind that medical expenses pile up quickly. Be sure to keep track of all bills and receipts associated with your claim.

Some individuals incur catastrophic losses in the wake of medical malpractice. You may secure increased compensation if you or a loved one experienced:

● Permanent disfigurement
● The loss or complete functional destruction of one of your limbs
● Injuries that prevent you from living alone or maintaining an income

In some instances, settlement amounts in catastrophic injury cases are capped, leaving you at a continued disadvantage. We will discuss this and all other aspects of your case with you clearly and in detail; we may ultimately recommend taking your case to court.
