Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider’s actions—or lack thereof—fall below the acceptable standard of care, leading to patient harm. These cases are often complex, involving detailed medical and legal analysis to determine whether negligence occurred and how it contributed to your injuries.

Examples of Medical Malpractice:

  • Surgical Errors: Wrong-site surgeries, retained surgical instruments, or improper procedures.
  • Misdiagnoses: Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis resulting in worsened conditions.
  • Medication Errors: Prescribing or administering the wrong drug or dosage.
  • Childbirth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery, leading to conditions like cerebral palsy or maternal injury.
  • Nursing Home Negligence: Failure to provide adequate care to elderly residents, leading to injuries or death.
  • Hospital Negligence: Errors in treatment, poor sanitation, or lack of proper oversight.

If you suspect that medical malpractice may have occurred, it’s essential to act quickly. Pennsylvania has a statute of limitations that generally requires malpractice claims to be filed within two years from the date of injury or discovery of negligence.
