Even Good Doctors Make Mistakes.
Ohio Medical Malpratice Lawyer - Cleveland Medical Mistake Attorney –
Call The Right Attorney - Cleveland, Ohio
Every day people put their lives in the hands of
physicians and other healthcare providers. As a group, doctors are
dedicated to helping and treating us. Unfortunately, like every
worker at their job, health care providers make mistakes. But the
mistakes by doctors, nurses and other medical care providers can
lead to severe and life altering injuries. In fact, according to the
National Academy of Sciences, approximately 98,000 Americans die
from “medical mistakes” or medical malpractice each year.
Furthermore, the Journal of the American Medical Association
reported that 12,000 people die per year from unnecessary surgery;
7,000 people die per year from medication errors in hospitals; and
20,000 people die per year as a result of other errors while in
hospitals.
While we hold medical professionals in the highest regard, it
becomes necessary to hold them legally accountable they do not
perform up to professional standards.
Medical malpractice is a form of negligence involving a medical
treatment provider. If you have been injured as a result of a
treatment provider’s digression from the standard of care, that
medical provider may be liable for the injury that has occurred. The
determination of whether a medical professional has met the standard
of care is based on a comparison to other professionals in the same
field and/or the same geographical region. In other words, what
would a reasonably competent medical professional practicing in the
same field and area as your medical provider do under the
circumstances that your doctor was facing? This is an impossible
question to answer without the help of a medical malpractice lawyer.

Generally, a cause of action for malpractice can arise
against a doctor or other medical provider that (1) delays or fails to
properly diagnose a medical condition; (2) fails properly treat a medical
condition; (3) fails to perform a surgical procedure properly; or (4) fails
to obtain the patient’s informed consent before performing a procedure or
operation. Common examples of medical malpractice claims include:
-
Failure to prescribe a necessary test or perform an
appropriate evaluation;
-
Misdiagnosis of cancer and other medical conditions;
-
Delay in diagnosing cancer;
-
Performing unnecessary surgery;
-
Surgical errors such as operating in the wrong area
of the body or removing the wrong part or organ;
-
Leaving surgical instruments such as sponges in the
body;
-
Failure to explain surgical risks to the patient;
-
Post surgical infections;
-
Nursing negligence;
-
Anesthesia errors;

Improper drug prescriptions, including wrong type
and/or dosage; and
