Common medical malpractice cases
It’s your doctor’s job to diagnose conditions and find the direct cause of your health problems. Certain conditions may be more difficult to diagnose than others. A misdiagnosis can leave conditions untreated or prescribe you unnecessary medications. If your doctor failed to consider certain symptoms or your response to past treatments, they were negligent.
Your doctor may also inadvertently cause damage to you if they make a mistake during treatment. Your doctor has a responsibility to make you aware of anything that went wrong during a procedure within 24 hours.
Proving your case
You will need to prove the damages caused to you and prove that the damages occurred as a direct result of your doctor’s negligence. Your medical records are a good place to start. You may choose to get examined by a third-party medical professional if you don’t feel like your doctor will provide an accurate medical statement.
