California Medical Malpractice Attorneys

While the field of medicine continues to benefit from great strides in technology, complicated tests and equipment make it increasingly difficult for patients to judge if their medical care is adequate and meets the appropriate standard of care.

Physicians, surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals are obligated to meet a standard of care established by the medical profession. Failure to meet accepted standards is the basis of medical malpractice allegations.

Even though medical services in the United States are among the best worldwide, doctors, nurses, technicians, and pharmacists do make mistakes. The harm to patients ranges from serious complications or death, to the onset of debilitating injuries and illnesses far different from that for which treatment was originally sought.

Medical Errors Can Lead to Malpractice Claims

Examples of common medical errors that harm patients and lead to medical malpractice lawsuits include, but are not limited to:

• Emergency negligence
• Misdiagnosis
• Delayed niagnosis
• Failure to niagnose
• Surgical errors
• Wrong lab report
• Anesthetics error
• Birth injury
• Wrong medication
• Wrong dosage of medication
• Drug allergies
• Incorrect procedures
