Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can manifest in various ways, often with severe consequences.
At The Brothers Law Firm, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of medical malpractice cases, including those involving:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failure to accurately and promptly diagnose a condition can lead to improper or delayed treatment, potentially causing the disease to worsen, preventable complications, or even death.
- Surgical errors: These can include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, causing unnecessary nerve damage, or performing the incorrect procedure.
- Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, administering an incorrect dosage, or failing to identify harmful drug interactions.
- Birth injuries: Negligence during childbirth can lead to injuries to both mother and child, such as oxygen deprivation leading to cerebral palsy or improper use of forceps causing brachial plexus injuries.
- Anesthesia errors: Improper administration of anesthesia or inadequate monitoring of a patient's vital signs during surgery can lead to severe complications, including brain damage or death.
- Failure to obtain informed consent: Healthcare providers must fully explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a procedure before obtaining the patient's consent.
This list is not exhaustive. If you believe you or a loved one have been harmed by the negligence of a healthcare provider, it's crucial to seek legal counsel promptly. We can help you understand your rights and options.
