Signs You May Have a Medical Malpractice Case
6 min read
Medical mistakes happen more often than most people realize. These warning signs may mean it's time to talk to an attorney.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A wrong or delayed diagnosis can rob you of critical treatment time. If a competent doctor would have identified your condition sooner, and that delay caused you harm, it may be malpractice.
Surgical Errors
Wrong-site surgery, instruments left inside the body, anesthesia mistakes, and preventable infections are all serious red flags. Surgical complications do not always mean negligence, but unexplained errors deserve scrutiny.
Medication Mistakes
Receiving the wrong medication, the wrong dose, or a drug that interacts dangerously with another prescription can cause lasting harm. Pharmacists, nurses, and prescribing doctors can all share liability.
Birth Injuries
Injuries to a mother or child during labor and delivery — from oxygen deprivation to improper use of forceps — can have lifelong consequences and often stem from preventable errors.
