If substandard care at any Grant County hospital or clinic caused you harm, our medical malpractice lawyers can investigate and build a strong claim for compensation. We work with independent medical experts to analyze errors across all specialties.

Some of the most common medical errors that can form the basis of a malpractice lawsuit include:

Botched operations can inflict immense harm. Surgical errors like operating on the wrong body part or patient, damaging organs and nerves, leaving foreign objects inside patients, severe infections, and improper aftercare can lead to permanent disability or death. Surgeons are expected to adhere to safety protocols and reasonable standards of care.

Mistakes in prescribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring medications are some of the most common medical errors. Prescribing the wrong drug or dosage, ignoring potentially fatal drug allergies and interactions, giving incorrect doses, improperly monitoring side effects, and negligent pharmacy practices can all constitute malpractice.

Failing to correctly and promptly diagnose a serious illness or condition can allow diseases and infections to rapidly worsen, resulting in grave harm or death that could have been prevented with proper testing and analysis of symptoms. Doctors must perform all necessary exams and procedures to reach the right diagnosis in a timely manner.

Negligence during labor and delivery can inflict devastating, permanent harm on infants. Mistakes like improper use of forceps or vacuums, failure to monitor fetal distress, and delays performing emergency C-sections can cause injuries like Erb's or Klumpke's palsy, cerebral palsy due to oxygen deprivation, fractured bones, and more.

Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists must adhere to standards of care when administering anesthesia to ensure proper dosing, vigilantly monitoring of vital signs, and accounting for patient risk factors and allergies. Any deviations from protocol can result in serious injury or death.

Elderly nursing home patients rely on staff for activities of daily living, medication management, mobility assistance, hygiene, nutrition, and general safety. Negligence in any of these areas resulting in bedsores, falls, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, restraint-related injuries, and other harms may constitute nursing home abuse.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional fails to meet accepted standards of medical care, resulting in injury or death. Examples may include surgical mistakes, medication errors, misdiagnosis, failure to monitor, childbirth injuries, anesthesia errors, and more. The negligence must have directly caused the harm suffered.

Medical negligence can result in a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional injuries with long-term, debilitating effects. Some common injuries caused by malpractice include surgical infections, nerve damage, permanent disabilities, brain damage, spinal cord injuries, disfigurement, loss of limbs, birth defects due to delivery errors, and wrongful death.
