Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This can include actions or omissions by doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other medical professionals. Common examples of medical malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Incorrectly diagnosing a condition or failing to diagnose it in a timely manner can lead to unnecessary suffering and potentially life-threatening complications.
• Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or causing unintended injury to internal organs.
• Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or administering medication incorrectly.
• Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth that results in injuries to the mother or baby, such as cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or other birth-related trauma.
• Failure to Treat: Not providing appropriate treatment for a diagnosed condition, leading to worsening of the patient’s health.
