What is medical malpractice?

            Medical malpractice is one of the more complicated areas of personal injury law. Evaluating whether malpractice occurred requires a skilled legal analysis from an experienced attorney. 

            Pursuant to Pennsylvania law, medical professional negligence, otherwise known as medical malpractice, consists of negligent, careless or unskilled performance by a physician or nurse of the duties imposed on him or her by the professional relationship with the patient. It is also found where a physician shows lack of proper care and skill in the performance of a professional act. 

Examples of medical malpractice:

  • Birth injuries
  • Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
  • Surgical Errors
  • Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
  • Hospital Infections
  • Medication Errors
  • Emergency Room Error
  • Brain injuries
