Medical Malpractice Attorney in Evansville

Operating under the duty of care, medical professionals are obligated to maintain a standard of care for their patients. The standard, which is established by the medical community, ensures that all patients are receiving the same comprehensive care. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional’s actions do not abide by that standard, and their negligence leads to injury or death.

For example: An individual has a heart operation. During the surgery, the surgeon uses a non-sterile tool, which gives the patient an infection. The infection causes serious damage to the patient’s nervous system, leaving them in the hospital for longer than intended.

Due to the broad range of the medical field, medical malpractice cases can vary greatly. Here are examples of the most common types:

• Surgical errors
• Childbirth injuries
• Misdiagnosis/delayed diagnosis
• Medication errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital infections
• Post-operative negligence
• Failure to examine patient’s medical history
