MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
OVERVIEW OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Medical malpractice can be defined as a doctor’s failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician, surgeon, or another medical professional would use under normal circumstances. Medical malpractice is a subspecialty of the law that only a few firms in each community are regularly handled. It is a highly technical and specialized field. Some medical malpractice attorneys primarily handle birth trauma cases. Other attorneys may handle surgical errors, cancer misdiagnosis, and medical negligence.
COMMON CASES
Medical malpractice can occur in any area of medicine in which a patient can be injured due to inadequate treatment. Common medical malpractice cases include anesthesia, delivery and labor, surgical errors, and general failure to diagnose. Anesthesia requires sensitive techniques, and the improper use of the anesthetic agents and other substances can result in severe physical impairment or death. Surgical errors can occur during any part of surgery or postoperative care. Injuries that result from medical professionals’ incorrect diagnoses when given significant information are a typical cause for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
