What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the required standard of care, causing harm. Examples include:
- Surgical Errors: Wrong-site surgeries, anesthesia mistakes, or leaving instruments in the body.
- Misdiagnosis: Failure to diagnose cancer or heart disease, leading to delayed or incorrect treatments.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing incorrect dosages or overlooking drug allergies.
- Birth Injuries: Brain damage or wrongful death resulting from delivery complications.
Not every medical mistake qualifies as malpractice—negligence must be proven through expert testimony and clear evidence of harm caused by substandard care.
