Types of Medical Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice claims could be:
• Misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Prescription or administering medication errors
• Negligent medical errors that affect childbirth or pregnancy
Misdiagnosis
A misdiagnosis by a physician is a common form of medical malpractice. Medical providers many times overlook infections, masses in the body, blood clots and tumors. When a patient does not have textbook symptoms, a doctor might not look for a complete answer to a patient’s health condition.
Negligence During Pregnancy or Childbirth
A joyous time of welcoming a child into the world can be destroyed when a physician causes damage to the mother or their child. There are a lot of things that can go wrong during a pregnancy and not all incidents are medical malpractice. With the help of a medical malpractice lawyer in Queens County, NY, an individual or their surviving family members will receive the compensation they deserve.
Prescription Mistakes
Prescription errors can happen when a doctor prescribes the wrong amount of a medicine or the pharmacy gave the patient the wrong medicine. A nurse can easily give a patient the wrong medication and the patient can suffer serious injuries from these types of mistakes. Even though a prescription mistake is considered a mistake, a victim should still receive compensation for the injuries they received.
