What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider or facility fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. Examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical errors
  • Birth-related injuries
  • Emergency room mistakes
  • Medication or anesthesia errors
  • Nursing negligence
  • Failure to monitor or respond to complications
  • Hospital or administrative negligence

It’s important to note that not every poor outcome is considered malpractice. However, when avoidable errors or negligence lead to injury, legal action may be necessary to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

We proudly stand with victims of a wide variety of medical malpractice cases, including:

Surgical Mistakes

Errors such as wrong-site surgery, retained surgical tools, and anesthesia mishaps can result in long-term harm. Our team is here to fight for patients who’ve been let down in the operating room.

Birth Injuries

Mistakes during childbirth can lead to serious conditions like cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries. We work tirelessly to protect the rights of newborns and the families impacted by medical negligence.

Emergency Room Errors

In high-stakes moments, ER mistakes can have devastating consequences. We represent individuals harmed by emergency care failures—such as misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or triage errors.
