Types of Medical Malpractice Claims

Types of Medical Malpractice Claims

Malpractice is when treatments are not done in the standards of care, and it can happen with any type of medical treatment. The standard has to be proven by an expert witness, which means there could always be a chance for malpractice cases arising from different contexts like negligence or fraud due to lack of knowledge on what they're doing that will lead them into more accidents happening without being able to identify where the problem was coming from.

Medical malpractice is the negligence or error by a doctor, surgeon, dentist, nurse practitioner for which he/she may be sued. Medical professionals are entrusted with our health and wellbeing; so when they do something wrong that we did not consent to- it can lead to serious consequences such as permanent damage of important organs in your body etc. Medical malpractice is one of the most controversial topics in America. The widespread and varied nature of medical mistakes make it difficult to classify them into a single, linear category or form. In this article, we are serving topic of what are the various types and forms of medical malpractice in details, here are some of most common cases and has high occurrences in US public hospitals:

• Birth Injury Claim - Birth injury claims allege that a medical professional’s negligence resulted to sustennance of injury of the mother or baby. The sustenance of injury could have occurred when negligent during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or just after delivery. Typical examples of the negligence of medical professionals that can result in serious birth injuries include failure to monitor fetal heart rate; failure to monitor blood pressure and temperature at constant times. 

• Surgical Malpractice Claims - Surgical errors can happen for a variety of reasons, and they're often the result of negligence. Common examples include operating on the wrong body part or performing the wrong procedure. Victims are entitled to compensation in these instances because their health has been affected as well as losing wages from time spent recovering after surgery instead of working. Most victims feel pain when they realize that someone else's negligence caused them great harm and loss; however, this is not always an easy feeling to come back from- especially if you've lost something precious like your ability to walk again due to another person’s fault, making such an incident an highly viable for an injury claim.

• Error in Medication Claims - Medication errors can be as harmless or dangerous as the medication itself. When you don't take your allergy pill, it might make you a little uncomfortable until someone realizes that they gave you the wrong dose and corrects it with an increased dosage—but when this happens to patients on heart medications, for example, their condition could worsen instead of improving or vice versa. 

• Misdiagnose and Maltreatment - When physicians fail to diagnose conditions that they should have diagnosed, patients can suffer. If your condition is undiagnosed, this means it goes untreated and may result in weeks or months of discomfort or pain. In some cases a failure to diagnosis will take you past the point where you could be helped by treatment and doctors would not know what caused such an unfortunate turn-around so late on in the game. When physicians fail at diagnosing conditions and maltreated a condition, they should have been able to see through straight away, then their patient suffers immensely because he/she doesn't get treated for his/her illness which results either in intense pain over many weeks as well as an eventual worsening state.

What are the conditions that a situation must met for the claim eligibility?

Unlike other injury claim, medical malpractice is a stern and sensitive field of injury claims so there are elements and criteria for deeming a case as medical malpractice, here are the four of them:

• an established patient - medical provider relation on papers 
• deficit in attention on responsibility
• the lacking of attention caused injury
• further damages

As medical malpractice is an continuing and growing caused of patient's death every year, a study as well supports this claim as a study in 2017 states that 400,000 of patients' death every year are caused by medical malpractice in any forms. Medical malpractice can cause serious trauma and consequences for those involved. It is vital to consult with an attorney in order to fight for the justice you deserve when a medical professional's negligence has caused harm.

Medical malpractice can have severe impacts on victims' lives; this type of lawsuit typically includes things like physical pain or mental anguish as well as economic losses due to missed work days or additional care costs arising, which can be alleviated with the help of compensation pay that will be granted to a victim of medical malpractice when filed one.
