Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to meet an accepted standard of care for a patient.

This may occur at different stages of the treatment process:

• Initial diagnosis. The doctor may fail to notice an important symptom or fail to recognize a serious illness or condition for what it actually is.
• Course of treatment. The doctor may take the wrong treatment path, which could leave the original problem untreated or exacerbated.
• Prescribed medication. The doctor may prescribe the wrong medication, which might worsen the original condition.
• Anesthesia errors. Putting a patient to sleep is a tremendously delicate matter. One false step can spell disaster.
• Surgical errors. Any number of mistakes can occur during surgical procedures.
• Post-operative patient care. Things can go wrong after the patient is wheeled out of the operating room.
• Birth Injuries.
• Cerebral Palsy.

Medical mistakes can occur at other stages as well, such as in the emergency room or during the reading of an X-ray.

Some medical mistakes can be corrected. Others can result in permanent, debilitating injuries requiring lifetime care – or they may even cause death.

Medical Malpractice Cases Require an Experienced Lawyer
