Doctor's Errors
Injuries caused by doctor,
hospital or insurance company error, including misdiagnosis of
cancer cases.
Medical malpractice cases have unfortunately become all too common.
A Harvard Medical School study found that over 5% of all hospital
patients were injured as of a result of medical negligence.
Medical
negligence, more commonly called medical malpractice, occurs
when a doctor or health care provider deviates from accepted
standards of medical procedure. Most people do not want to pursue
legal action against their physician, but if the patient is seriously
harmed, it may be necessary to hire an attorney.
Types of Medical Malpractice:
- Misdiagnosis of cancer cases
- Delay in breast cancer diagnosis.
If a lump or cyst is not identified or treated soon after it
is reported, it is possible that the provider was negligent.
- HMOs failure to provide adequate
medical care, or
- Errors in surgery and other
medical services
Other malpractice claims could
involve use of drugs such as
- Rezulin
- Phen-Fen, Redux and Pondomin
Difficult
to Prove
Because the law requires a connection
between fault and injury, not all instances of medical malpractice
result in an award of damages. Determining fault in medical malpractice
cases often is very complicated and usually requires the assistance
of expert medical witnesses.
