Common Medical Malpractice Cases 

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that adverse events occur in nearly 25% of admissions, and 25% of those adverse events were preventable. An adverse event that meets the criteria for serious or fatal occurred in 1% of hospital admissions.   

The most common type of adverse event is an adverse drug event. However, our team of medical malpractice attorneys has handled a wide variety of common malpractice cases, including:    

• Post-operative errors: Failure to diagnose, treat, and monitor post-operative complications   
• Lab errors: Mistakes in reading lab results or contamination of lab specimens  
• Diagnostic errors: These cases involve mistakes in diagnosing a medical condition or failure to timely diagnose a condition, leading to delayed treatment or misdiagnosis   
• Surgical errors: Errors made during surgical procedures, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments in the surgical site, or performing unnecessary surgeries   
• Medication errors: Occur when healthcare professionals make mistakes in prescribing, administering, or managing medications, resulting in adverse drug reactions, overdose, or other medication-related complications   
• Anesthesia errors: Errors made during the administration of anesthesia, including dosage errors, failure to monitor the patient’s vital signs, or adverse reactions to anesthesia   
• Hospital negligence: Negligence by hospitals or medical facilities, such as inadequate staffing, improper sanitation, failure to maintain equipment, or lack of proper protocols that result in patient harm   
• Failure to obtain informed consent: When a healthcare professional fails to adequately inform a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a medical procedure or treatment, and the patient suffers harm as a result   
• Emergency department errors: Frequently involve missed or delayed diagnosis, communication breakdowns, inadequate monitoring, and discharging patients prematurely   
• Failure to properly monitor, respond, and care for unstable patients: Encompasses situations where healthcare professionals fail to promptly assess vital signs, recognize signs of deterioration, or escalate care appropriately
