When doctors make mistakes that harm their patients, it’s called medical malpractice. In these cases, patients have the right to be compensated for the damages they suffered. That’s why it’s important to seek legal advice if you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice.
At Ganim Legal P.C., we have more than 30 years of experience helping people injured by medical staff. We are here to protect your interests and fight for your rights if you have been a victim of medical malpractice.
What Defines Medical Negligence?
Medical negligence happens when doctors and other medical professionals don’t do their jobs properly. They fail to meet the responsibilities that come with their roles, and this is called negligence.
In a lot of cases, medical negligence can turn into medical malpractice. This occurs when the medical professionals not only fail in their duty of care, but their actions directly cause harm or death to the patient.
Here are some examples of medical negligence:
Misdiagnosis
Failure to order or perform necessary medical tests
Failure to monitor a patient
Mistakes involving anesthesia
Incorrect prescription of medicine
Wrong choice of treatment
Misuse of medical devices
Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient’s body by mistake
