What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is when a physician, medical professional, or hospital fails to perform their duties in line with the standards for the medical profession. Sometimes medical professionals, physicians, or hospitals fail to provide care due to negligence, due to errors in diagnosis, due to medication errors, due to surgical errors, or more devastating, due to mistakes that happen either when a patient is under anesthesia or when a woman is giving birth. Medical malpractice claims require that an injured patient show that the hospital, physician, or medical professional failed to provide a standard of care that other physicians in the medical field would consider up to the standards of the profession. Of course, in any profession, there might be different acceptable ways in which a medical professional can approach a medical problem or issue. After all, this is why we have the practice of seeking a second opinion. But sometimes, doctors make mistakes, make errors, or fail to live up to the standards of the profession, and sometimes obvious errors are made or clear diagnoses are missed. When this happens, patients can suffer serious injuries or die, and may require costly ongoing treatment to correct these mistakes. The medical malpractice lawyer in Michigan at Meyers Law PLLC can review your case, refer your case to experts, and fight to help you and your family get the recovery you may deserve if you have suffered from medical negligence.
What are some types of medical malpractice that the medical negligence lawyer at Meyers Law PLLC handles?
- Childbirth Injuries. Childbirth injuries resulting from medical negligence that happens during labor and childbirth can be particularly devastating injuries. These injuries can disable a child when he or she is just starting life, leading to years of required specialized care, and immense losses for the family and child. Injuries due to mistakes made by doctors during labor can lead to brain injury, deprivation of oxygen to the baby, cerebral palsy, fractured bones, paralysis, and more. Other types of medical negligence can result in injury to the mother. For example, a surgical error during a C section procedure can lead to blood loss, and other serious complications to the mother and the baby. If you or someone you love suffered a childbirth injury, reach out to the medical negligence lawyer in Michigan at Meyers Law PLLC today. Our medical malpractice law firm in Michigan is here to help you during this devastating time.
- Misdiagnosis and Failure to Diagnose. Certain conditions need to be diagnosed right away. Failure to properly diagnose a condition like cancer, heart attack, or stroke, can lead to serious injuries in patients, more severe illness, death, brain damage, or disability. Doctors generally need to follow specific procedures when patients tell doctors that they are experiencing certain symptoms. For example, there are some symptoms that could be indicative of cancer, or a heart attack, or stroke. If doctors fail to take patient’s symptoms seriously, fail to give the proper tests, or misread the results of tests given, patients can suffer serious injury or even death. Worse, women and people of color are sometimes victims of medical gaslighting, which is when doctors fail to take these patients’ pain, complaints, or symptoms seriously. If you suffered a heart attack, stroke, or had cancer that wasn’t diagnosed right away or was misdiagnosed, you may have a medical malpractice case. Of course, every case is unique, and some conditions are not easily diagnosed. The medical malpractice lawyer in Michigan at Meyers Law PLLC can review your medical records, listen to your story regarding how you tried to seek medical attention, and help you if you have a medical malpractice case.
- Medication Errors. Another serious type of medical malpractice involves medication errors. Doctors should never prescribe two drugs that could potentially have negative interactions, nor should they prescribe the wrong dosage. More devastating is when hospitalized patients are administered the wrong drug or the wrong dosage, or when doctors fail to administer drugs as required. Medication errors are more common than you may realize. If you or someone you love was a victim of a medication error, consider speaking to the medical malpractice lawyer in Michigan at Meyers Law PLLC.
- Surgery Errors. Another kind of serious medical malpractice can involve surgery errors. Very publicized surgery errors include cases where doctors amputated the wrong limb, but there are other, less publicized cases of surgery errors, where doctors left medical debris inside a patient, left surgical tools inside a patient’s body, made an error during the surgery leading to complications, or where a hospital failed to perform the proper follow-up after surgery. Sometimes errors involving anesthesia can lead to death or serious injury. If you or someone you love suffered a from surgical error, the medical malpractice lawyer in Michigan at Meyers Law PLLC may be able to help you with your case.
