Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

Our society recognizes that doctors are human and that medicine is an inexact science. As a result, most doctors' mistakes are not considered medical malpractice.

In general, the following elements must be satisfied in order to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit:

• The medical mistake must have violated the applicable "standard of care"
• The injury must have been directly caused by the doctor's negligence
• The injury must be severe enough to justify litigation

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than one thousand medical malpractice claims were filed against physicians in 2006. Common medical malpractice claims involve:

• Medication errors
• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis
• Birth injuries
• Retained foreign objects
• Unnecessary surgery or amputation
• Anesthesia errors
• Surgical errors
