Medical negligence or malpractice is a growing problem that affects thousands of Americans every single year. Medical negligence takes place when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider fails to comply with the standard of care put in place by the medical industry. Unfortunately, this happens far more often than many people realize - or than it should. In fact, medical malpractice is now the third-leading cause of death in the United States, just behind cancer and heart disease. Medical negligence can take place for a wide range of reasons, including:

• Misdiagnosis
• Delay of treatment
• Failure on the part of the physician to gain the informed consent of the patient for a surgical procedure
• Misuse of a medical device or implant
• Delivery mishaps
• Emergency room errors
• Medical device error
• Failure to recognize symptoms
• Postoperative negligence

• Failure to provide appropriate treatment
• Surgical or anesthesia-related mistakes during operation
• Misuse of prescription drugs
• Wrongful amputation
• Birth injuries
• Hospital malpractice
• Failure to listen to the patient
• Ordering an improper test

These are just a handful of the most common types of medical negligence or malpractice seen. When a healthcare provider falls below the accepted standard of care and puts the patient at risk of injury or death, they must be held accountable for their actions. The medical professional, hospital, or nursing staff can be held liable for any resulting injuries or other losses incurred.
