How Medical Errors Can Lead to Serious Patient Injuries
Medical care is meant to heal, but when mistakes occur, the consequences can be devastating. Patients trust healthcare providers to follow accepted standards of care. When those standards are not met, preventable injuries can result.
Medical malpractice cases require a careful and structured legal approach. At The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm, LLC, patient injury claims are evaluated through a detailed process that focuses on accountability and patient harm.
Identifying the Medical Error
Not every poor medical outcome is malpractice. A case often begins by determining whether a medical error occurred, such as surgical mistakes, medication errors, delayed or missed diagnoses, failure to monitor a patient, or improper treatment decisions.
Connecting the Error to the Injury
The next step is showing that the medical error directly caused harm. Injuries may include worsening of a condition, permanent disability, infections, organ damage, or loss of function. Medical records and timelines are essential in establishing this connection.
Assessing the Long-Term Impact
Medical injuries often create long-term challenges. A complete evaluation considers ongoing treatment needs, rehabilitation, reduced quality of life, lost income, and emotional harm. Understanding the full scope of injury is critical to pursuing appropriate compensation.
