Legal Services » Medical Negligence
Medical negligence is typically defined as “An act or omission in treatment of a patient by a medical professional, which deviates from the accepted standard of medical care.” Often, people think of medical professionals in terms of a physician, but the term applies to any person or facility licensed to provide medical care – from physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, and even ambulance and van transport personnel, to HMO’s, psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, support staff, and even your family dentist.
Medical negligence personal injury can include physical, emotional or mental injury, or death. The actions causing these injuries can include:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose, or to diagnose in time
- Failure to treat in a timely manner
- Failure to follow up with treatment
- Surgical error
- Medication error
- Preventable infection
- Anesthesia error
- Negligence in Patient Transport
