What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice happens when a health care provider falls short of professional standards, leading to patient harm. This can manifest through negligence, errors or oversight. Victims often face not only physical and emotional trauma but also financial burdens because of extra medical costs and lost income.
Common Types Of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice takes many forms, such as the following:
- Birth Injuries: Harm caused during the birth process due to medical negligence
- Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery that could have been prevented
- Misdiagnosis: Incorrect or delayed diagnosis that leads to inappropriate or no treatment
- Medication Errors: Errors in prescribing or administering medication
- Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes involving anesthesia that can lead to severe complications
Each of these scenarios can drastically alter your life and health.

If you believe you are a victim of medical malpractice, take these steps:
- Keep detailed records of all your medical appointments, treatments and interactions
