Types of Medical Malpractice

Types of Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice is a term that includes a lot of different scenarios. It’s not as cut and dry as, say, a car accident case. Here are some common types of medical malpractice that could result in serious complications. 

Types of Medical Malpractice | Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis

Misdiagnosis is two-fold. Your doctor could check you and claim that you are fine, saying that you’re free to go home but missing an issue that needs treatment. Or, they could determine you have the wrong condition. Both of these scenarios can be completely devastating. You may go without life-saving medicine, or you may be taking the medicine you don’t need.

In a delayed diagnosis, you may have found out what is wrong, but because your doctor initially missed it, you have unnecessarily suffered because of it. Contact our medical malpractice attorneys today if you have fallen victim to any of these circumstances.
