  1. COVID-19: What Kind Of Medical Malpractice Cases Will Arise?

  2. As the coronavirus pandemic has swept across the United States. Many people wonder how COVID-19 is affecting medical care, both for the patient who has the virus and those who do not.

  3. Failure To Diagnose COVID-19 There has been much debate and consternation over testing availability for those suspected of having COVID-19. Due to a lack of available tests, many people with coronavirus symptoms are not being tested. This has led to people being sent home without treatment, even though they may very well have COVID-19.

  4. Failure To Treat COVID-19 Even those who have been found to have COVID-19 may not receive the care they deserve. This could be due to an inadequate number of healthcare professionals, a lack of medications, or a lack of proper healthcare equipment.

  5. Non-COVID-19 Patients Receiving Inadequate Care The healthcare system has been overwhelmed by coronavirus patients. However, this does not mean that other non-coronavirus medical emergencies should take a backseat. With this pandemic ongoing, it may be the case that many hospital patients receive inadequate care due to a lack of trained health professionals to help every patient.

  6. Treatment From Inadequately Trained Professional Due to the shortage of healthcare professionals during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many physicians and other medical professionals are taking on roles outside of their specialties. In most situations, both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients should be treated by an adequately trained medical professional.

  7. Untested Treatment Plans There are reports that some medical providers are adopting untested treatment plans or are using hastily-designed patient care equipment. There are also reports of medical professionals using medications not designed for COVID-19. Currently, there is no cure or vaccine for this type of coronavirus.
