Medical malpractice cases involve mistakes by health care providers that can all too often evolve into human tragedies. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical provider, such as a hospital or clinic, or an anesthesiologist, doctor, nurse, or other health care professional acts in a manner that deviates from the accepted standard of care in the medical community.
There are a variety of cases involving health care providers, including:
- Misdiagnosis, late diagnosis or failure to diagnose, including cancer, breast cancer, heart attack, meningitis, stroke or other illnesses
- Brain injuries and traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries, paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Emergency room errors, delays, mistaken diagnosis or negligent treatment
- Nursing errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Surgical errors and failure to adequately monitor care after surgery
- Infections and hospital administration errors
- Nursing home negligence, abuse or neglect
- Medication and prescription errors

- Birth injuries, Erb's palsy and cerebral palsy
- Pharmaceutical company or medical device liability
- Pharmacist malpractice
