What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is the term used to describe an incident where medical complications
result in harm to a patient due to improper care or treatment by a medical professional.
When a health care provider does not meet established standards due to negligence,
diagnostic error or lack of proper communication, patients and their families can
suffer serious, sometimes fatal consequences.
Schwartzapfel Partners can help you determine if medical malpractice is the cause
of your medical injury -- and if so, help you obtain the money you deserve for your
injuries.
Areas of medical malpractice that we handle include:
- Cerebral
Palsy. Cerebral Palsy occurs when there is insufficient oxygen or physical
trauma to a child’s brain. It can be caused when medical personnel are not vigilant
during the birth process.
- Erb’s Palsy.
Erb’s Palsy occurs when nerves in the shoulder region suffer
physical trauma and are stretched. In the worst cases, the nerves are completely
torn from the spinal cord.
- Gastric
Bypass Surgery. Gastric bypass surgery is a serious operation and when performed
by an inexperienced surgeon, complications that arise can be life-threatening.
- Failure
to Diagnose Cancer. Failure to diagnose this serious disease can have devastating
consequences, including the spread of cancer throughout the body and the patient's
untimely death.
- Anesthesia Errors.
It is estimated that three percent of medical malpractice is related to anesthesia,
typically caused by improper anesthesia administration and management.
- Breast
Cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women -- and
a cancer that is frequently missed by health care professionals.
- Ectopic
Pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when an embryo fails to implant inside
the uterus. If an ectopic pregnancy is not diagnosed, it can lead to serious
health problems.
- Eye Injuries.
When eye diseases are not timely diagnosed and treated, the results can include
partial blindness, complete blindness and even the removal of the eye itself.
- Failure
to Diagnose Heart Attack. The consequences of a heart attack can include
functional limitations, incapacitation or even death. When early symptoms
of a heart attack are present but missed, health care providers must be held
accountable for the injuries that result.
- Laparoscopic
Cholecystectomy Surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a complex procedure.
Accidental cuts to the wrong duct or artery can have disastrous results for
the patient.
- Surgical
Complications. Surgical complications and errors are the unexpected side
effects of a surgical procedure. They can include leaving items in a patient
during surgery or causing injuries that were not explained to the patient during
pre-surgical discussions.
If your injuries were caused by medical malpractice, you may be entitled to money
for both past and future:
- Pain and suffering;
- Lost wages;
- Lost income;
- Loss of health care benefits;
- Loss in the value of household services;
- Medical benefits;
- Loss of consortium - spousal or parent-child relationships that have been
negatively impacted by the injury.
