When things go wrong
Doctors, nurses, hospital technicians, and other health care providers usually provide caring, professional service with a high standard of excellence for their patients. However there are occasions when things go wrong. If you, your child or other loved one has been injured or if a loved one has died as a result of a medical mistake, then you may be entitled to financial compensation. Doctors, hospitals and health care providers are usually insured and must pay compensation if a medical malpractice claim is proven against them.

Medical malpractice can occur in a variety of ways.
A doctor's negligence is probably the most common factor in most medical malpractice cases. When a doctor or hospital deviates from the standard of acceptable medical care and acts negligently, the resulting injuries could be the basis for a medical malpractice negligence claim if it is shown that the actions or failure to act on the part of the medical provider was the cause of harm.
Examples of medical malpractice can include:
- failure to diagnose an illness
- failure to prevent surgical infection
- leaving a medical utensil implanted after surgery
- surgery without informed consent
- certain birth injuries and cerebral palsy
- failure to diagnose breast cancer
- misdiagnosis
- improper prescription drugs
- anesthesia errors and mistakes
- vaccine injuries
- blood transfusion contamination injuries
