Was Your Injury Caused by Malpractice?
Any health care provider, including hospitals, clinics, surgeons, doctors, dentists, nurses and pharmacists, can practice a lower-than-acceptable standard of care. The hospital or clinic may also be liable if it failed to hire competent staff, provide adequate supervision or perform proper credentialing.
Some of the most common types of medical malpractice include:
- Surgical errors
- Birth injuries
- Medication errors
- Negligent postoperative care
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Anesthesia errors
- Nursing home negligence
