Types of Medical Malpractice

Whenever we go to the doctor for medical needs we put our lives and health in their hands, trusting that they won't neglect that trust and cause us further injury or illness. In the event that a doctor or medical practitioner neglects their duty and causes the injury or illness of a patient under their care, that victim may be able to file a claim to hold the doctor responsible for their injuries or illness. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the careless actions or negligence of a doctor, contact a San Diego personal injury attorney to find out if you will be able to file a claim for monetary compensation.

There are certain factors that must occur in order to determine a case as malpractice. This primarily includes that the doctor or other practitioner committed an action or failed to perform an action that a reasonable doctor would otherwise have done in the same situation. The types of negligence or carelessness that can lead to malpractice include failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, emergency room errors, as well as nursing home neglect or radiation overexposure.
