  1. Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

  2. What is Medical Malpractice? Medical malpractice occurs when a patient suffers a serious injury while under the care of a healthcare provider which could have been prevented if that healthcare provider acted as a competent peer would have under the same circumstances. Medical malpractice can result in catastrophic injuries (including organ failure, brain, and spinal cord injury) and even death.

  3. Types of Medical Malpractice Cases Types of medical malpractice and medical negligence cases include: 1. Birth injury  2. Diagnosis errors 3. Medication errors 4. Surgical errors

  4. BIRTH INJURY A birth injury is an injury suffered by a newborn during the labor and delivery process. Birth injuries can be grounds for legal action when they are the result of medical negligence on the part of a doctor, nurse, or other member of the delivery team. Common errors include the improper use of forceps or suction devices and failure to ensure adequate oxygen to the fetus.

  5. MEDICATION ERRORS Use of prescription drugs has become widespread.  If the drug is dangerous or defective, however, you can suffer severe injury.  In such cases, manufacturers of the drugs can be held liable for the sale of defective products.  As a manufacturer of a drug, they have the responsibility to make sure it is safe to the consumer by testing it and making sure it follows all necessary U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.  York Law Firm is devoted to protecting our clients from potentially harmful drugs.

  6. Diagnosis Errors   It happens when the medical professional informs the patient that he or she is fine, but there actually is something wrong with them medically.

  7. SURGICAL ERRORS Surgical errors can occur in both invasive surgery (a surgery that involves making an incision in the patient’s body and inserting instruments or medical devices into the incision) and non-invasive surgery (surgery that does not require penetration in the body through an incision).  However, the most common types of surgeries where surgical errors occur are: • Childbirth • Thoracic Surgery (surgery involving the lungs and the chest) • Gastric Bypass Surgery (surgery that reduces the size of the stomach) • Laparoscopic Surgery (surgery of the intestines or abdomen) • Cardiothoracic Surgery (surgery of diseases affecting the heart)
