Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical provider such as a doctor, hospital or other health care professional injures a patient through their negligence in failing to follow the standard practice of care. Medical mistakes can take many different forms and can include improper care and treatment by an individual or a facility such as a hospital, clinic or care facility. If you have been injured during medical treatment a Minnesota medical practice attorney at Fields Law Firm will fight for you and protect your rights.
Examples of medical malpractice negligence:
• Failure to properly diagnose
• Misdiagnosis
• Surgery errors or operating on wrong site
• Birth injuries
• Prescription / medication errors
• Failure to diagnose cancer
• Anesthesia mistakes
• Improper treatment
According to the JAMA, a total of 225,000 deaths are due to medical errors each year representing the third leading cause of death in the United States. A doctor or other health care provider is held to the same standard of care as a person in the same or similar situation. This standard of care is based on professionals in similar roles and depends on the specific area of specialty.
