What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional or organization — such as a doctor or a hospital — causes an injury to a patient through a negligent act or omission.

For example, you go to the hospital to have your appendix removed. While removing the organ, the doctor nicks a vein and fails to fix it. After the procedure, you begin to feel worse and worse until you learn that you are bleeding internally. Because the doctor had failed to fix the nick, causing a serious injury, this is considered a case of medical malpractice.

Other common examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Failure to diagnose or a misdiagnosis
  • Misreading or ignoring lab results
  • Errors in surgery
  • Medication errors such as improper dosage
  • Poor aftercare
  • Premature discharge
  • Not taking a full patient history or disregarding it entirely
  • Failure to order proper tests
  • Failure to recognize symptoms

Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Laws

In order to file a medical malpractice claim in Pennsylvania, the following conditions must be met:

  • A violation of standard of care – Medical professionals have certain medical standards that must be met. Each patient has the legal right to expect medical care that meets these standards. And when the healthcare worker fails to meet these standards which result in an injury, the patient has the right to pursue legal action.
  • Negligence caused the injury – If you can show that the standard of care was not met, you then need to prove that the doctor or hospital was negligent. The patient will also need to prove that there would be no injury if the healthcare worker was not negligent.
  • The injury caused significant damage – Finally, the patient will need to show the injury had caused significant damages. This can include further medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. For medical malpractice claims, Pennsylvania does not limit damages.

    “I highly recommend Attorney Molly & the firm to anyone seeking reliable & compassionate assistance during challenging times.”

    I have a friend who sought help from Fellerman & Ciarimboli and said they were very nice and helpful. So when I needed assistance, they were the first ones I thought of, and gave them a call. I was connected to Attorney Molly Clark, who made a significant impact. Her comforting personality created a welcoming environment during our interactions, turning what could have been a somber experience into one filled with positivity. Our upbeat conversations, in contrast to the challenging situation, improved my well-being.

    What truly won me over was Molly's commitment to keeping me informed about the progress of my situation. Whenever I called her with questions, she promptly provided answers, ensuring I had the information I needed when I needed it. Working with Fellerman & Ciarimboli was a positive experience given the circumstances I was facing. I highly recommend Attorney Molly and the firm to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate assistance during challenging times.
