When Medical Malpractice Results in Wrongful Death
Holding Negligent Health Care Providers Responsible
When you trust a health care provider with your medical treatment, you place your life into their hands. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes misplaced. A patient’s health and finances can seriously suffer when a health care provider makes mistakes or fails to do their job correctly. Negligent medical treatment is known as medical malpractice. Medical malpractice turns into wrongful death when a medical mistake turns fatal.
Lots of different mistakes can result in a medical malpractice claim. Some of the most common include:
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to treat
- Anesthesia errors.
Any of these common forms of medical malpractice could result in a patient’s death. Doctors aren’t the only professionals who can be guilty of medical malpractice. A lawyer can help you bring a claim against health care professionals such as:
- Doctors
- Surgeons
- Nurses
- Pharmacists
- EMTs
- Dentists
- Eye doctors
- Chiropractors.
