Medical professionals have a duty to provide competent care. When that duty is breached, causing you harm, you might have a medical malpractice case. Onal Gallant law firm is here to shed light on this complex area and ensure you receive fair compensation if you've been a victim.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in New Jersey:
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. Here are some common examples:
· Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failure to identify a medical condition can lead to serious consequences.
· Surgical errors: Mistakes during surgery can cause infections, nerve damage, or other complications.
· Medication errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, dosage, or administering it incorrectly can have devastating effects.
· Failure to order necessary tests: Not performing crucial tests can delay diagnosis and treatment.
· Birth injuries: Injuries sustained by a baby during childbirth due to negligence.
What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice:
· Gather Medical Records: Collect all your medical records related to the suspected malpractice.
· Seek a Second Opinion: Consult another healthcare provider to confirm if the treatment fell below the standard of care.
· Contact an Attorney: An experienced medical malpractice lawyer can assess your case and advise you on legal options.
