Medical malpractice can be a health problem, a permanent physical injury, or even a death due to an avoidable medical error. It is when a medical care provider does something improper, or fails to do something they should have done as part of your medical treatment. In order to legally prove that you or a loved one’s care was truly medical malpractice, an attorney must prove the medical treatment did not follow the standard of care that the medical profession has set and caused a preventable injury.

EXAMPLES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE• The failure to diagnose cancer in time for it to be success-

fully treated, after someone had been having checkups and evaluations by doctors.

• Birth trauma or brain damage to an infant which led to physical injury, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and other developmental issues.

• Death as a result of improper medical treatment, medication errors, or the use of improper techniques during surgery.

• Failure to recognize or give a timely diagnosis for serious health conditions like heart disease, lung problems, and vascular disease.

• Surgery taking place on the wrong part of the body.

• Failure to timely deliver an infant, resulting in stillbirth.
