Medical Malpractice
An injury does not have to be an intentional act on the part of a health care professional to be legally actionable as medical malpractice. Health care professionals can also commit medical malpractice by causing injuries through negligent acts or omissions. Common medical malpractice claims include:
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
- Misreading or ignoring laboratory results
- Unnecessary surgery
- Surgical errors or wrong site surgery
- Improper medication or dosage
- Poor follow-up or aftercare
- Premature discharge
- Disregarding or failing to take appropriate patient history
- Failure to order proper testing
- Failure to recognize symptoms
