Common Types of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can occur in many forms, often with devastating results. Common examples include:

  • Surgical Errors

    Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the body, can lead to severe complications or additional surgeries.

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

    Failing to diagnose a condition or misdiagnosing it can prevent patients from receiving timely, lifesaving treatment.

  • Medication Errors

    Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or dangerous drug combinations can cause serious harm or death.

  • Birth Injuries

    Negligence during labor and delivery can result in injuries like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage.


  • Failure to Obtain Informed Consent

    Performing procedures without the patient’s full understanding of the risks violates their rights and can lead to unexpected harm.

At MPJ Law Firm, we investigate every detail of your case to determine how negligence occurred and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim

Medical malpractice claims require proving the following elements:

  • Doctor-Patient Relationship: Establishing that the medical professional owed a duty of care to the patient.
  • Breach of Duty: Showing that the professional failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
  • Causation: Demonstrating that the negligence directly caused the patient’s injuries.
  • Damages:  Identifying the harm caused, including physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial losses.

Our team works with medical experts to build strong claims and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

If you suspect you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice, it’s critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Taking action quickly helps in the following ways:


  • Preserving Records and Evidence: Medical records and expert opinions are essential to proving malpractice.
  • Protecting Your Rights: Hospitals and insurance companies often move quickly to protect their interests. Having legal representation ensures your rights are safeguarded.
