What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, harming a patient. Here are key elements that constitute medical malpractice:

Breach of Duty: Healthcare providers owe a duty of care to their patients. When they fail to provide treatment that meets the accepted standard of care, they breach this duty.
Negligence: Medical malpractice refers to a healthcare provider's failure to exercise reasonable care in treating a patient. This can include diagnosis, treatment, surgery, medication administration, or follow-up care errors.
Causation: The breach of duty and resulting harm must have a direct causal link. In other words, the patient's injury or worsening condition must be directly attributable to the healthcare provider's negligent actions or omissions.
Harm or Damages: To pursue a medical malpractice claim, the patient must have suffered harm or damages as a result of the healthcare provider's negligence. This can include physical injuries, emotional distress, additional medical expenses, lost wages, or diminished quality of life.

Examples of medical malpractice include:

Misdiagnosis (wrong diagnosis) or delayed diagnosis
Surgical errors: Such as wrong-site surgery or a surgical instrument or other foreign object left inside the patient
Medication errors: Including incorrect dosage or administering the wrong medication
Birth injuries: Any injury caused by medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery including brain injuries to the baby sustained during labor or delivery
Anesthesia errors: An anesthesia mistake leading to complications or injury during surgery
Failure to obtain informed consent from the patient before a procedure
Hospital-acquired infections: Due to inadequate sanitation or hygiene practices
Failure to follow a patient's Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order
