What is Considered Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice refers to the professional negligence of a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or surgeon that leads to the harm, injury, or death of a patient. It occurs when the healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care expected in their profession.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: When a healthcare provider fails to accurately diagnose a patient's condition or takes an excessive amount of time to do so, it can lead to a worsening of the condition or the inability to treat the condition at all.
• Surgical and anesthesia errors: Mistakes made during surgery can involve performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing damage to organs or nerves. A surgical error can also include the failure to administer the right dosage of anesthesia.
• Medication errors: Pharmaceutical malpractice can involve administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or prescribing drugs that can interact negatively with the patient's other medications or medical conditions.
• Birth injuries: When nurses or the attending physician is negligent during labor or delivery, the mother and infant can suffer serious injuries such as cerebral palsy, HIE, and brachial plexus injuries.

Medical malpractice is not limited to these few examples. If you are not sure if your case qualifies as medical negligence, contact Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP. Our Long Island medical malpractice lawyers can discuss your case during a free evaluation and inform you of your rights.
