What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice covers the injuries caused by the negligence of medical professionals. The most typical types of medical malpractice are as follow:

Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis

A misdiagnosis describes a situation when your doctor tells you that you have some illness or condition, but it's incorrect. When an illness is misdiagnosed, or symptoms of an illness are overlooked leading to a delay in diagnosis. This can cause delayed treatment that leads to negative patient outcomes.

Medication errors

When the incorrect medication or a wrong dose of the correct medication is prescribed, causing organ damages, pain and suffering, or a range of other damaging outcomes.

Surgical errors

Understandably, surgeries all have an element of risk, but serious errors caused by negligence or bad judgement shouldn’t be among them. Operation on the wrong body part, badly performed operations and surgical items left inside the body are typical examples of this.

Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one or family member is unbearable. No one should have to suffer that ordeal from the negligence of another. You deserve justice and retribution to the to the greatest extent permitted by law. In Ontario, the blood relatives of the deceased are entitled to file a wrongful death claim.
