What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical Malpractice occurs when a physician or hospital provides substandard treatment or fails to properly diagnose a patient’s medical condition and this causes their condition to worsen or results in a new injury. Sometimes medical malpractice is caused by a doctor or hospital’s lack of thoroughness, such as failing to give the necessary test or performing an incomplete evaluation. However, simply because there was a poor result does not mean there was malpractice. On occasion, medical malpractice is obvious, but in the majority of cases, there are complex medical issues, which need to be thoroughly evaluated.

Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

To be considered to file a medical malpractice lawsuit your claim must have a few characteristics:

  • Violation of the Standard of Care – certain medical standards must be met by health care professionals and a legal professional can help you determine whether it was met or not.
  • Injury Resulted in Serious Damages – damages can include loss of income, emotional stress, medical expenses, unusual pain, and more.
  • Negligence Caused the Injury – the patient must prove that a medical professional was negligent when the injury was caused.

Why Do Medical Mistakes Occur?

  • Communication problems: This is one of the most common reasons medical errors take place, whether its a verbal miscommunication or written, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers with poor communication often results in mistakes.
  • Human Error: Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals can make a simple human error that could cause a serious injury for a patient. This can happen if procedures aren’t followed or done efficiently. it can also happen if the individuals don’t have the proper knowledge.
  • Improper information flow: This can result in medical mistakes when facilities do not communicate with each other properly when a patient is transferred somewhere else.  Errors can also happen when
  • Patient-Related Problems: This can happen if there is an error with patient assessment, or if someone fails to get patient consent, as well as insufficient patience education.
  • Technical Difficulties: Sometimes, facilities use improper tools or failures with medical devices such as grafts, or pieces of equipment.

Examples of Medical Malpractice:

  • Failure to Diagnose
  • Unnecessary Surgical Procedure
  • Failure to recognize symptoms
  • Improper medication
  • Poor aftercare process
  • Disregarding Patient History
  • Not ordering the proper tests
  • Misinterpreting lab results

Proving your case

Our experienced Philadelphia medical malpractice attorneys believe it is critical to evaluate your medical malpractice claim with the best specialists in the field. Often times, several different medical experts are retained in order to evaluate and substantiate your case. Two elements must be established to pursue a medical malpractice claim: first, we must prove the doctor’s treatment fell below the accepted standard of care. Next, we need to show the mistake caused additional damage or increased the risk for future harm.

There are no attorney’s fees until we make a recovery. If we accept your medical malpractice case, then we take the risk. You do not pay any fees or costs out of pocket. Our Philadelphia medical malpractice attorneys assume all the risk. We are only reimbursed if we make a recovery – this is typically referred to as contingent fee agreement.
