What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider or institution fails to provide the standard of care reasonably expected in their profession, leading to harm or injury to a patient. This negligence may take many forms across different medical specialties, and victims are often left dealing with long-term consequences.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

McHugh Fuller Law Group has a proven track record of helping clients in a wide variety of medical malpractice claims across Georgia, including but not limited to these scenarios:

• Failure to Diagnose or Delayed Diagnosis: This includes misdiagnoses of critical conditions like cancer, stroke, or heart disease, which can severely impact a patient’s treatment and recovery prospects.
• Birth Injuries: From negligent use of forceps to failure to monitor fetal distress, babies and mothers often suffer life-altering injuries because of medical errors during childbirth.
• Anesthesia Errors: Anesthetic mistakes, whether during surgery or preoperative procedures, can cause brain injuries, strokes, or even wrongful deaths.
• Emergency Room Negligence: Errors in fast-paced ER settings, such as misdiagnoses or the failure to order necessary tests, can put patients at grave risk.
• Surgical Mistakes: These include surgical errors like performing the wrong procedure, operating on the incorrect site, or leaving surgical instruments inside the body.

How to Prove Medical Malpractice

Proving medical malpractice involves building a compelling case that demonstrates the healthcare provider’s negligence and how that negligence caused harm. This process can be legally complex, requiring in-depth medical knowledge and irrefutable evidence. At McHugh Fuller Law Group, we use decades of experience to meet the burden of proof effectively.

Key Elements of a Medical Malpractice Case

To win a medical malpractice claim, the plaintiff must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care: The medical provider had a professional obligation to deliver care to the patient based on accepted medical standards.
2. Breach of Duty: The provider violated their duty of care through actions or omissions that deviated from standard medical practices.
3. Causation: The breach directly caused the patient’s injury or harm.
4. Damages: The patient suffered compensatory harm, such as physical injuries, medical expenses, or lost income, as a result of the provider’s negligence.

Role of Medical Experts

Medical experts are crucial in establishing medical malpractice claims. They evaluate the care provided and confirm whether it met industry standards. Additionally, they offer indispensable testimony, supporting a claim with professional authority. At McHugh Fuller Law Group, we leverage a vast network of medical experts to strengthen your case and improve your chances of success.

Impacts of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can have devastating short- and long-term consequences for victims and their families. These impacts extend beyond physical injuries to include emotional and financial strain.

• Physical Harm: Medical errors often lead to worsening conditions, chronic pain, or new injuries, requiring extended medical care or rehabilitation.
• Economic Burden: Victims may face substantial medical bills and lost wages due to an inability to work during recovery.
• Psychological Trauma: Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder are common among patients harmed by preventable medical errors.

By seeking legal representation, you can pursue compensation to cover these expenses and hardships, allowing you to move forward with healing and recovery.
