What Is Medical Malpractice?

All medical practitioners and facilities must legally uphold a certain “standard of care” when treating patients. This “standard of care” refers to the accepted procedures and practices that all healthcare practitioners in both Arizona and nationwide should follow when treating a patient suffering from a disease or ailment. In order to establish liability for medical malpractice, the breach of the standard of care must have directly caused injury to a patient.

A person injured by medical malpractice may be eligible for compensatory and punitive damages in limited cases. If you feel you were a victim of medical malpractice in Arizona, you should contact a professional Flagstaff medical malpractice attorney immediately.

Medical malpractice can occur through two broad areas of conduct:

  • Carelessness or mistakes made during the course of a procedure or treatment resulting in injury: An example would be if a surgeon performs a procedure for a hernia and unknowingly cuts the patient's intestines, causing the abdominal cavity to be infected due to contamination.
  • A provider fails to diagnose a condition that results in an injury: An example could be a provider who fails to diagnose the fact a patient has cancer by not following the standard for care of diagnosis.

Examples of Medical Malpractice

Common types of medical errors that can lead to a claim include:

  • Anesthesia errors
  • Birth injuries caused by negligence
  • Failure to receive informed consent
  • Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose an ailment
  • Operating on the wrong patient or body part
  • Wrongful death
  • Surgical errors, such as leaving a medical tool inside a patient’s body
  • Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or dosage
