What You Can Do If You’ve Been Injured By A Medical Professional

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, August 9, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Medical malpractice (which impacts millions in the US each year) is a serious concern that can lead to injuries, suffering, and substantial financial burden for victims and their families. Understanding the potential risks and being equipped with information to take action is crucial for those affected.

The top medical errors by medical professionals include:

Diagnostic Errors: Failing to diagnose or misdiagnosing a condition can lead to severe consequences. Negligence, lack of communication, or impaired judgment may be contributing factors.

Medication Errors: Errors in prescribing or administering medications can result in devastating consequences, including permanent disability or death.

Anesthesia Errors: Proper monitoring and administration are essential in anesthesia. Errors may lead to severe complications or wrongful death.

Surgical Errors: Surgeries are not immune to errors, including operating on the wrong body part or leaving equipment inside the patient.

Failing to Obtain Informed Consent: Medical professionals must provide patients with complete information about treatments, procedures, and potential risks.

Injuries You Might Suffer After a Medical Error

The injuries caused by medical errors can vary significantly and encompass internal bleeding, infections, loss of limbs, sensory impairments, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, nerve damage, chronic pain, and wrongful death.

Recovering Damages for Medical Errors

Recovery of compensation depends on the extent of injury and the medical professional’s negligence. While punitive damages may not be applicable in some states like Illinois, compensatory damages can include economic damages covering medical expenses, lost income, and death-related expenses.

Additionally, non-economic damages can account for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.

Adam J. Zayed, the founder and managing trial attorney of Zayed Law Offices says are Dos and Don’ts when you suspect medical malpractice

Empowering individuals with the knowledge to handle suspected medical malpractice wisely is vital. Avoid contacting the original doctor immediately and seek multiple opinions from other medical professionals. Refrain from discussing suspicions openly, as this can impact legal proceedings.

How a Medical Malpractice Attorney Can Help

An experienced medical malpractice attorney can provide invaluable support during these complex cases. They will thoroughly review the case, obtain medical records, investigate evidence, and employ expert witnesses to ensure rightful compensation is pursued. Negotiation with the insurance company or litigation, if necessary, is part of their dedication to securing a fair and reasonable settlement.
