Birth defects
The excitement of parents when they witness the birth of their child is unmatched. Unfortunately, medical issues could occur during this time. Birth defects such as cleft lip and missing limbs as well as congenital heart diseases and muscular dystrophy can be an issue. If negligence by a doctor during pregnancy or delivery caused these conditions, you may have a valid malpractice claim.
Birth defects can be caused by various factors, including exposure to harmful chemicals or prescription drugs in addition to environmental factors and issues with prenatal care. The physician's responsibility to ensure the well-being and health of mother and fetus is to conduct appropriate screening tests, identifying and treating anomalies during pregnancy and conducting appropriate tests for screening.
Medical experts must determine if a doctor's error in diagnosis or treatment of the condition was a mistake that resulted in serious injuries. To establish negligence, a medical expert must review the standard care a physician would have adhered too under similar circumstances. The expert has to show that the doctor's actions were deviant from the standard and caused the injury or death.
In addition to retaining experts, it is essential to gather evidence at the site of the accident and be able to speak with witnesses. This could include hospital witnesses and other patients, their families nurses, and many more. Additionally, you must take photos of the injuries that your child sustained to demonstrate how severe they were.
Maternal deaths
Every year, between 700 and 900 women die of complications from pregnancy or childbirth. This is an alarming number particularly for a nation that is in the first world such as the United States. USA Today recently reported that many of these deaths could have been avoided by better medical care in hospitals.
Some of the causes of maternal death are obstetric emergencies which include bleeding severe during delivery or a hemorrhage that occurs afterward, and pre-existing conditions like obesity and diabetes that affect the childbirth process and pregnancy. Doctors also have the obligation to be aware of warning signs like high blood pressure, which can cause preeclampsia, which is an extremely dangerous condition. Preeclampsia may cause premature separation of the placenta seizures and the life-threatening condition called HELLP syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits involving obstetrics and gynecology are some of the most frequent types of lawsuits filed in the United States. In a malpractice case, the plaintiff must prove that the doctor or healthcare provider violated the accepted standards of care and that that breach caused the plaintiff's injury or death. The legal community defines the standard of care, which varies from state to state. Despite the large number of malpractice attorneys claims, the majority settle without ever going to trial. Settlements are often reached through direct negotiation between the parties, but sometimes with the help of an impartial mediator (often a retired judge or attorney). Medical malpractice lawsuits are not the only way to stop a doctor from practicing immediately.
Injuries as a result of surgery
Medical advances have dramatically reduced the risk of adverse results from surgery, however they do happen. When they occur they can result in serious injuries. These injuries are not only painful and inconvenient but can also lead to expensive corrective surgeries, high medical costs, extended recovery times, or even death.
Some surgical errors are not negligence. In order for a case to be successful it must be demonstrated that medical professionals did not follow the established guidelines for a procedure, and this omission directly triggered injuries. Medical malpractice could include:
Incorrect-site surgeries, in which the surgeon performs surgery on a body component other than what was intended leaving a sponge, scalpel or other object inside the patient, puncturing or nicking nerves or organ, infections caused by improperly cleaned and sanitized tools or instruments.
A lawsuit arising from a surgical error may be a complicated issue which is why it is crucial to seek out the advice of an attorney who has expertise in medical malpractice. It is also important to document any injuries, including photographs and make notes of any details you think are relevant to the claim. It could take years for a lawsuit over a surgical error to be settled but it's worth it if you've been injured by a doctor's error. This is particularly the case if your injuries are severe and are a significant threat to your ability to live.
Wrongful death
It is a terrible experience to lose a loved one, especially when the death was caused by another's negligence. In the event of a state-specific law it could be possible to file a claim against that person to recover damages for your loss.
A wrongful death case is different than a medical malpractice claim because it affects a person's lives instead of their health. The standard of proof is therefore higher. It must be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the death of your loved person was caused by negligence on the part of a third party.
For instance, her husband passed away due to lung cancer that was not found on an x-ray. His death was caused by the doctor's failure to observe the symptoms of his patient and also to conduct an MRI when the patient was experiencing trouble breathing. The resulting delay in treatment allowed the tumor to grow and cause irreparable damage.
In this case the family members of the patient could make a claim for an unjustified death against the doctor and hospital. The type of damages you are able to claim is determined by the laws in your state, similar to a medical malpractice claim. They could include economic and non-economic damages, like funeral expenses as well as loss of consortium and discomfort and pain prior to the death of the victim. Punitive damages may be sought in wrongful death cases. This amount may not be included in all cases, however it's an option if the death of the victim was particularly severe or the result of multiple errors.
