Malpractice Errors
Each patient deserves and has the right to an appropriate standard level of care. You have the right to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit claiming negligence if your medical practitioner does not perform to this level and his or her service leads to an injury.
In Sacramento and Santa Rosa, medical malpractice negligence could refer to any or all of the following common errors:
- Failure to diagnose—All too often, you can go to a health care professional with a specific complaint and that professional cannot determine what is wrong. He or she makes no diagnosis. Later, you may find the crux of your medical problem through another health care practitioner, who does make a diagnosis and gives you the care you need and deserve.
- Failure to diagnose accurately—A medical practitioner can also fail to properly diagnose your problem. This can lead to incorrect and even harmful treatments.
- Failure to treat your injury or illness properly—When a health care practitioner does not take your injury or illness seriously enough or fails to prescribe proper treatment, you may have cause for a medical malpractice lawsuit.
- Failure to administer proper medication—Serious harm may occur in cases where the wrong medication or incorrect dosage is prescribed or administered. If this has happened to you or a loved one, consult the qualified medical malpractice attorneys at Teal Montgomery & Henderson immediately.
- Failure to inform—As a patient, you have the right to know the risks involved in a procedure or alternative medical treatment. You may have cause for a medical malpractice claim if your doctor or other medical professional does not inform you of those risks and injury occurs.
