Pennsylvania has a high rate of medical malpractice cases with data from the National Practitioner Data Bank stating that nearly 2 out of every 100 doctors get sued for malpractice each year. 

There are many reasons you might want to sue your doctor, but the bottom line is, if your doctor makes an error in judgment that causes you harm, or in anyway fails to uphold the accepted standards of medical care you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Consider the following as you determine whether medical negligence occurred:

• Failure to diagnose

• Delayed diagnosis

• Medication errors

• Surgical mistakes

• Failure to obtain informed consent

• Childbirth complications

• Emergency room errors

Medical malpractice cases can also be filed against hospitals, emergency rooms, medical offices, medical facilities, etc. 

In the state of Pennsylvania, injured patients may be eligible to receive compensation based on the kind of damage or injury that occurred.
