What to Know About Medical Negligence Cases
Doctors and other healthcare providers owe their patients treatment that aligns with the accepted medical standard of care. This is commonly understood as the level and type of medical care that a skilled and competent healthcare professional should provide, based on experience and the circumstances that led to the negligence.
Medical negligence includes any type of medical care administered by a licensed medical professional that deviates from that accepted standard. However, some categories of medical negligence are more common than others, including:
- Medication errors
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia
- Failure to appropriately treat
If you or a loved one has been a victim of medical negligence and has questions surrounding your case, you’re not alone. Some of the most common questions we hear from victims and families of victims suffering from medical negligence include:
How do I prove that a doctor’s negligence caused my child’s birth injury?
Few things are as traumatic as an injury to a newborn during delivery. If your child has suffered because of the negligence of a hospital or medical provider, you deserve to be compensated for your medical expenses as well as pain and suffering. To prove your child suffered a birth injury because of medical negligence, you and your medical negligence lawyer must provide evidence of all of the following.
- That the doctor, midwife or medical facility owed you a duty of care
- What the standard of care should have been under similar circumstances
- How the hospital or healthcare provider violated the standard of care
- That the deviation from the medical standard was the direct and proximate cause of your damages
- That you or your child sustained measurable damages
What kinds of damages can I claim?
As the victim of medical negligence, you’ve most likely sustained a great deal of injury and pain, which will be reflected in the medical expenses you accrue, including ongoing treatment for the foreseeable future. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may also be unable to resume work, in which case you may also be able to collect recovery for lost wages and diminished earning capacity.
What’s more, the consequences of a medical negligence injury cannot all be measured in monetary value. An experienced lawyer will also be able to help obtain compensation for your pain and suffering. This includes the physical pain that resulted from your injuries and treatment, as well as the psychological impact of your pain, often in the form of emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.
