WHAT IS MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE?

Medical negligence occurs when a health care provider does not provide a patient with the appropriate level of care required for his condition. If a patient is harmed by the actions of a health professional, or by not acting, he can make the provider responsible for his injuries and economic damages.

Medical errors can lead to long-term health problems and, in extreme cases, can cost the patient his life. According to the American Association for Justice, preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the country.

These errors can occur in many different ways including, but not limited to:

1. Do not diagnose a serious condition
2. Do not provide the appropriate treatment
3. Surgical errors
4. Prescribe the wrong medication or the wrong dose
5. Improper handling of medical equipment
6. Infections acquired in the hospital
7. Anesthesia errors
8. Birth injuries
9. Errors in the emergency room
