Do I Have a Case for Medical Malpractice?

On Behalf of Garber Law, P.C. | Mar 8, 2021 | Medical Malpractice

When you entrust your health and medical care to a doctor, you never expect them to make a mistake that causes you pain. A medical mistake can not only lead to a worsening of your condition, but it can also cost you a lot of money. However, unless you are well-versed with medical phrases, it can be difficult to determine if you have a case. Continue reading to find out if you have a case for medical malpractice and how an experienced attorney can help you get started on your claim.

What is Medical Malpractice?

It can first, be helpful to understand what medical negligence is, and what it includes. Medical malpractice is when a medical provider is negligent and causes an injury to a patient. This could be due to:

  • Failure to diagnosis
  • Delayed diagnosis
  • Misreading or misinterpreting results
  • Surgical errors
  • Birth errors
  • Failing to monitor vitals
  • Discharging a patient too soon
  • Failure to order the right testing
  • Medical mistakes

These are just a few of the mistakes that can occur in the medical industry. However, any time a medical professional acts in a way that is below the acceptable standard of care they owe to a patient, it may be the result of medical malpractice.

Important Elements of a Medical Malpractice Case

In a medical malpractice case, you must establish the following:

  • The standard of professional conduct was violated: Medical professionals owe their patients a legal duty of care. They must follow the standard of professional conduct that they agreed to when becoming a doctor. In order to be eligible for a medical malpractice case, they must have violated it.
  • The negligence led to an injury: Making a mistake as a medical provider is not enough for a medical malpractice case. The doctor or other healthcare provider’s negligence must have also led to an injury. There must also be legal or other monetary damages that can be compensated through a legal lawsuit.
  • The negligence led to significant damages: Minimal damages will also not be enough to be eligible for a medical malpractice case. It can be expensive to pursue a medical malpractice case, so there must be sufficient reason to do so.

It is not always easy to determine if your case includes each of these important elements. It can be helpful to discuss the details of your case with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer.
