How do I know if I have been a victim of medical malpractice?

If you have had an experience with a healthcare professional or provider who failed to give you the adequate care and attention necessary, resulting in injury or death, you have been a victim of medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice claims against nurses, doctors and others in the medical field are filed by patients or the families of patients who are injured or negatively affected by those who provided them with negligent medical care. These medical malpractice claims generally involve allegations of negligence, breach of contract or breach of fiduciary duty.

Examples of common medical malpractice claims in Ottawa can include:

• Misdiagnoses or failure to diagnose a condition;
• Obstetric malpractice, including spina bifida or negligence causing cerebral palsy;
• Failure to properly test;
• Misinterpreting or ignoring lab results;
• Pediatric malpractice involving children or infants;
• Failure to time and treat a condition properly;
• Unnecessary surgery, wrong site surgery or surgical errors;
• Failure to provide the right prescription, administering the wrong medication or dosage;
• Hospital and nursing errors.

Prenatal Errors in Ottawa

In some unfortunate cases, unborn children are harmed due to medical malpractice caused by doctors or other health professionals’ mistakes. Expectant parents rely on medical staff to help them with their baby’s well-being and identify any potential health risks. Sometimes, medical errors or oversights by medical professionals occur, and they fail to assess these health risks.

Spina Bifida Lawyers in Ottawa

Spina Bifida is a condition that affects your child for the rest of their life. It can cause loss of bladder or bowel control, as well as cognitive issues. Spina Bifida can be detected through ultrasound very early on in pregnancy, and once detected, it can be addressed to decrease the conditions mentioned. If you suppose that your doctor or other healthcare staff did not take the proper precautions, you might have a medical malpractice litigation on your hands.

Hospital Errors in Ottawa

Hospitals are supposed to be spaces where you feel safe, and where doctors and other healthcare providers are obligated to act in your best interest. Yet, each year, thousands of patients are injured or otherwise seriously affected by medical errors or negligence.

Those patients and their family members deserve justice when they have been affected by hospital error, or any other forms of medical negligence.

These are only a few examples of the many areas of our expertise here at Sommers Roth & Elmaleh.
