Medical malpractice – or medical negligence – means that a doctor or other healthcare professional deviated from accepted standards and norms in providing medical care. Simply put, medical malpractice means that your doctor didn’t do everything they were supposed to when treating you or overseeing your care.

Surgical errors
Wrong prescriptions
Labor and delivery errors

Poor patient supervision
In these situations, lives are disrupted, and they deserve answers.

Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to consider drug interactions can lead to adverse drug events, harming patients.
Errors in administering anesthesia, including incorrect dosages or inadequate monitoring, can cause serious complications, including brain damage or death.
Performing medical procedures without the patient’s informed consent, or without adequately explaining the risks involved, can be grounds for malpractice claims.
Breakdowns in communication between doctors, nurses, and other medical staff can lead to errors in patient care, such as misinterpreted orders or overlooked symptoms.
Neglecting proper post-treatment monitoring or failing to provide necessary aftercare instructions can result in complications or deterioration of the patient’s condition.
