Hospital malpractice can occur in a variety of forms, from surgical and medication errors to insufficient care. There are different levels of expectations depending on whether you are in an emergency room setting, or in a surgery setting. Also, hospitals have varying error rates – a recent study found that fatality rates are about 20% higher in an emergency situation at a teaching hospital as opposed to a non-teaching hospital.
Types of Hospital Malpractice errors
- Surgical errors – may include technical incompetence, complication risk following prolonged anesthetization, and even procedures on incorrect body parts and patients
- Insufficient care – one in twenty patients contract infections during hospital stays which can be disastrous for the young, elderly, and immune suppressed
- Laparoscopic errors – the highly advanced technique of using small incisions to perform procedures can be complex and it might be hard to know if your injury is due to surgery – a medical malpractice lawyer can help you find out
