Medical Malpractice
When you or a loved one seeks medical care, you trust that healthcare providers will offer treatment that meets established professional standards. Sadly, medical errors and negligence can occur, leaving patients with life-altering consequences. At Strickland, Diviney & Segura, we are committed to fighting for those harmed by medical malpractice, ensuring accountability and pursuing the compensation victims deserve.
Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice arises when a healthcare provider—such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital—fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. These cases are complex and require careful investigation to uncover the error and prove liability. Common examples of medical malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a medical professional fails to identify a condition in a timely manner, the patient may lose critical treatment opportunities, leading to worsening health outcomes or preventable death.
- Surgical Errors: Surgical mistakes can include performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong site, or leaving foreign objects in the body, often causing severe complications and requiring further treatment.
- Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to recognize dangerous drug interactions can have devastating effects on a patient’s health.
- Birth Injuries: Mistakes made during labor or delivery can result in serious injuries such as brain damage, nerve injuries, or developmental delays that affect a child’s entire life.
- Anesthesia Errors: Mismanagement of anesthesia—such as incorrect dosages or failing to monitor the patient—can lead to permanent injury, brain damage, or fatalities.
