What Is Considered Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider fails to provide proper care, resulting in harm to the patient. It’s not enough that a treatment didn’t work; there must be a clear error or failure that caused avoidable harm.
Here are a few common examples:
- A doctor misdiagnoses or fails to diagnose a serious illness.
- A surgeon makes a preventable mistake in the operating room.
- A pharmacist gives the wrong medication.
- A nurse doesn’t monitor a patient after surgery, leading to complications.
- A baby suffers injuries during childbirth due to improper care.
If something just doesn’t feel right about the care you or a loved one received, it’s worth speaking to a lawyer who can help you figure out what went wrong.
What Do I Have to Prove in a Medical Malpractice Case?
Most medical malpractice cases require proving negligence. There are four elements that must be established:
- You had a provider-patient relationship.
- The provider didn’t meet the standard of care expected in their field.
- That failure caused your injury.
- You suffered harm—physical, financial, or both.
We will work closely with medical experts who review your records, offer opinions on what should have been done differently, and help prove your case.
What Kinds of Compensation Can I Recover?
Medical errors often bring huge costs—financial, emotional, and physical. If malpractice caused your injury, you may be able to recover money for:
- Medical bills (current and future)
- Lost income or reduced ability to work
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
- Loss of quality of life
- Funeral costs and other expenses in wrongful death cases
We look at the full impact of your injury and fight for every dollar you’re owed.
What Types of Injuries Can Result From Medical Negligence?
Medical malpractice can leave lasting damage. Some of the most common injuries include:
- Brain damage from delayed diagnosis or lack of oxygen
- Infections or sepsis from poor hygiene or follow-up care
- Surgical errors that cause internal damage
- Birth injuries like cerebral palsy or nerve damage
- Medication overdoses or allergic reactions
- Fatal outcomes when conditions are missed or ignored
No matter what kind of harm you’ve experienced, you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll stand with you and help you fight back.
How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania law gives most people two years from the date they knew (or should have known) something went wrong to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
However, there’s an important catch: Pennsylvania also has a seven-year statute of repose. This means that even if you didn’t discover the injury right away, you generally cannot file a lawsuit more than seven years after the date the alleged malpractice occurred—regardless of when you discovered it.
Because these time limits can be complicated and strict, it’s best to speak with a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as you suspect something went wrong. Missing the deadline could mean giving up your chance to seek justice and compensation.
