Misdiagnosis is grounds for a large number of medical malpractice claims. If a doctor misdiagnoses a condition it can result in:
-
Detrimental delays in starting the appropriate or accurate treatment
-
Unnecessary, expensive, or invasive treatments that do not work
In some cases, doctors can miss the warning signs of certain conditions all together telling patients they are healthy when in fact they are not.
Childbirth can be a challenging process even when everything goes according to plan. However, if something goes wrong and it is not handled appropriately, both the mother and child can be put in harm’s way. Medical malpractice can occur in childbirth settings if:
-
Doctors fail to monitor the vital signs of the mother or child
-
A C-section is not ordered when it is necessary
-
Doctors improperly handle forceps or the vacuum
In some cases, doctors do not properly diagnose medical conditions experienced by the mother or the child resulting in injuries such as:
-
Brain damage
-
Cerebral Palsy
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Hypoxia
-
Death
Medication errors are more common than we’d like to hope. Many people take medications daily and doctors regularly prescribe things like antibiotics, painkillers, steroids, and more. However, these prescriptions must be filled correctly in order to prevent medication errors.
Medication errors occur when pharmacists or doctors give or prescribe patients with:
-
The wrong medication
-
The right medication at the wrong strength
-
A medication the patient is allergic to
-
A medication that interacts poorly with other medications the patient may be taking
Taking the wrong medication can cause serious health effects and in some cases can be fatal.

“What should I do if I experience health problems?”
First, seek medical treatment if you are developing health symptoms. Second, consider getting a baseline of your entire health, like blood tests and organ function, in case anything changes. And there are other steps you can take to improve your chances of securing compensation, like preserving evidence. Take photographs or videos of anything involved that you think led to your injury.
It is also important to be careful about what you sign or what you say to companies involved in your injury. They are trying to limit their liability and may try to get you to sign documents or make statements that hurt your case. To ensure your rights are protected in your state consult with an experienced attorney first.
