What Is Medical Malpractice?

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosing a serious condition can lead to incorrect or delayed treatment, worsening the patient’s condition.
Surgical errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as performing the wrong procedure or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, can cause severe harm.
Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage can have life-threatening consequences.
Anesthesia errors: Improper administration of anesthesia can lead to serious injuries, including brain damage or death.
Failure to treat: Ignoring or improperly treating a diagnosed condition can result in complications or even death.
Birth injuries: Medical negligence during labor and delivery can lead to life-altering injuries for both the mother and child.
