What are medical malpractice claims?
Medical malpractice claims are claims that you make when a doctor, dentist, nurse, or other medical care provider fails to provide you with an appropriate level of care.
If your medical professional falls short of the standard of care, based on what an average reasonable provider with similar training would have done, then you may be able to make a claim for malpractice. These types of claims commonly arise as a result of:
- Misdiagnosis
- Delayed diagnosis
- Improper treatment
- Treatment errors
- Medication mistakes
- Surgical errors such as operating on the wrong patient, operating on the wrong body part, or leaving a surgical instrument inside a patient
- Anesthesia errors
- Lack of informed consent
- Failure to treat
In these and other situations, you can pursue a claim to recover compensation for all of the harms that resulted from your care provider’s failure.
This could include, for example, any additional treatments that you need because of your doctor’s failures, as well as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost wages from the treatment issues.
