Common types of medical malpractice

A number of medical situations can lead to medical malpractice, however most fall into the following categories:

  • Failure to diagnose – where a competent doctor would have diagnosed the patient or made a different diagnosis and resulted in a better outcome
  • Improper treatment – if a doctor treats a patient in a way that no other competent doctor would or administers the right treatment incompetently
  • Failure to warn the patient of known risks – a doctor has the duty to warn the patient of known risks of a procedure or treatment but does not and had the patient known the risks he or she would not have agreed to the procedure or treatment.

With any medical malpractice lawsuit there is need to have the following basics:

A doctor-patient relationship existed – there must be proof that you hired the doctor and the doctor agreed to be hired by you and the doctor began seeing and treating you.

The doctor was negligent – the doctor must have been negligent in diagnosis or treatment. The doctor’s negligence caused the injury – it must be proved that it is most likely than not that the doctor’s incompetence directly caused the injury.
