Not All Medical Mistakes Are Medical Malpractice

When a medical professional's negligence causes someone under his or her care to suffer injury or death, that person can be liable for committing medical malpractice. However, that's a pretty broad generalization. In legal terms, a caregiver is guilty of medical malpractice when care deviates from the standard of care that another medical professional would provide under similar circumstances. Examples of medical malpractice include, but are not limited to, the following situations:

• Failing to properly diagnose a condition
• Cancer misdiagnosis
• Birth injuries
• Surgical errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital and emergency room mistakes
• Improper procedure
• Most other situations in which caregivers made mistakes that caused injury or death to people under their care

A skilled medical malpractice attorney has to have a thorough understanding of proper medical procedures to build an effective case. He or she must also prove that a medical professional was negligent and that negligence resulted in injury or death for the patient.
