What Is Medical Malpractice?
Understanding Medical Negligence
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare professional or facility fails to meet the accepted standard of care, causing harm to the patient. Standards of care represent the actions that a reasonably skilled and competent provider would take under similar circumstances.
When those standards are violated—whether through negligence, recklessness, or outright misconduct—the results can be life-altering or even fatal.
Examples of Medical Malpractice
The range of potential errors that constitute medical malpractice is vast, but common examples include:
- Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose: Failing to identify a medical condition, such as cancer, leads to delayed treatment and worsened outcomes.
- Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part or leaving instruments inside the patient’s body.
- Medication Mistakes: Prescribing the wrong drug, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider drug interactions.
- Anesthesia Errors: Miscalculating the amount of anesthesia can result in complications ranging from minor side effects to death.
- Birth Injuries: Poor decisions during delivery can lead to lifelong disabilities for the child or serious harm to the mother.
Our skilled medical malpractice attorneys work tirelessly to uncover evidence of negligence and present a compelling case on your behalf.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
Surgical Errors
Surgical procedures carry inherent risks, but patients have the right to expect competent care. Unfortunately, surgical errors often occur due to avoidable mistakes, including:
- Operating on the wrong site or performing the wrong procedure.
- Damaging internal organs or nerves.
- Leaving surgical tools or sponges inside the body.
At The Money Team Law Firm, we work with medical experts to analyze surgical records, evaluate post-operative complications, and establish a clear link between negligence and your injuries.
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A timely and accurate diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can cause diseases to progress unchecked, leading to severe consequences. Commonly misdiagnosed conditions include:
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Infections like sepsis
Our medical malpractice attorneys will review your case to determine whether a healthcare provider’s failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis constitutes malpractice.
Birth Injuries
The joy of welcoming a new life can turn to heartbreak when medical errors during labor or delivery lead to birth injuries. Conditions such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or brain damage often result from:
- Improper use of forceps or vacuum devices.
- Failure to monitor fetal distress.
- Delayed decisions for necessary C-sections.
Our team is deeply committed to advocating for families impacted by birth injuries, securing compensation for medical care, therapy, and emotional trauma.
Medication Errors
Medication errors are alarmingly common, affecting millions of patients annually. Errors may involve:
- Incorrect prescriptions.
- Administering the wrong medication or dose.
- Failing to consider known drug allergies or interactions.
With a detailed review of your medical records, our team identifies where these critical errors occurred and who is liable.
Anesthesia Mistakes
Administering anesthesia requires precision and vigilance. Mistakes can result in brain damage, nerve injuries, or wrongful death. Common errors include:
- Failure to assess patient medical history.
- Administering the wrong dosage.
- Improper intubation techniques.
Our attorneys understand the catastrophic consequences of anesthesia-related malpractice and will pursue justice relentlessly.
Hospital Negligence
Hospitals are responsible for maintaining a safe environment and ensuring staff is properly trained and equipped. Negligence on their part, such as understaffing, poor hygiene, or lack of supervision, can lead to serious harm. Our medical malpractice lawyers are skilled in holding hospitals accountable for systemic failings.
Types of Compensation for Medical Malpractice and How Liability Is Assessed
When you’ve been harmed due to medical negligence, the impact can extend far beyond physical injuries. Emotional trauma, financial burdens, and ongoing medical needs often compound the pain. At The Money Team Law Firm, we are committed to helping you secure the full compensation you deserve while ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
Types of Compensation Available in Medical Malpractice Cases
Victims of medical malpractice are entitled to various forms of compensation to address the damages they’ve suffered. Compensation typically falls into three main categories:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are tangible losses that can be calculated based on actual costs. These include:
- Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for past and future medical bills related to the malpractice, such as surgeries, therapies, or medications.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost while recovering from your injuries or for permanent loss of earning capacity.
- Rehabilitation Costs: Costs for ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, or assistive devices like wheelchairs.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Any additional costs you incurred due to the negligence, such as transportation or caregiving services.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages address the intangible impacts of malpractice. These include:
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical discomfort and emotional distress.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Damages for the inability to enjoy hobbies, activities, or life events.
- Emotional Distress: Payment for anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from medical negligence.
- Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the negative impact on your relationship with your spouse or family.
Punitive Damages
In cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. While less common, these damages send a strong message about accountability.
At The Money Team Law Firm, our skilled medical malpractice attorneys carefully assess every aspect of your case to ensure you receive all the compensation you are entitled to under the law.
How Liability Is Assessed in Medical Malpractice Cases
Proving liability in a medical malpractice case requires demonstrating that the healthcare provider or facility failed to meet the accepted standard of care. This involves a detailed evaluation of several key factors:
Establishing Duty of Care
The first step is proving that the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care. This is usually straightforward, as doctors, nurses, and hospitals have a legal obligation to provide competent medical treatment to their patients.
Identifying a Breach of Duty
Once duty of care is established, we analyze whether the provider’s actions—or inactions—fell below the accepted standard of care. Examples include:
- Misdiagnosing a condition when a competent doctor would have diagnosed it correctly.
- Performing a surgical procedure in a manner that deviates from established protocols.
- Failing to monitor a patient’s condition during or after treatment.
Proving Causation
A crucial element of liability is demonstrating that the breach of duty directly caused your injury or worsened your condition. This often requires expert testimony to connect the provider’s negligence to your harm.
Documenting Damages
Finally, we gather evidence to quantify the damages you’ve suffered, including medical bills, lost income, and emotional distress. This documentation is essential for building a compelling case.

Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Instead, they take a percentage of your settlement or award if they win your case. This arrangement ensures that anyone, regardless of financial resources, can access legal representation.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim?
The statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim varies by state but typically ranges from one to three years. Some exceptions, such as the discovery rule, may extend the timeframe if the injury was not immediately apparent. Consulting a medical malpractice lawyer promptly ensures you don’t miss important deadlines.
How does a medical malpractice lawyer prove negligence?
