What Is Medical Malpractice?

When we seek medical care, we trust that the doctor we see will make an accurate diagnosis, prescribe the right medicine, and perform any necessary procedure perfectly. However, doctors are human too, and as such, they are fallible. Unfortunately, when a doctor makes an error, it could have devastating consequences. The damage caused could last a lifetime or even be fatal in the worst-case scenario. For this reason, there are laws in place to help protect patients from medical negligence, and to allow people to receive compensation in the event of an injury or wrongful death.

Healthcare professionals are tasked with keeping their patients healthy, but sometimes, through negligence or error, adverse effects occur — and the doctor may be held liable in situations like the following:

Injuries caused at birth
Failure to diagnose an injury or illness
Errors in diagnosis
Prescribing the wrong drug or wrong dosage
Errors while performing surgery

How Rare Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is more common than you might think, and according to the Committee on Diagnostic Error in Medicine, anywhere between 7 and 17 percent of adverse effects could be attributed to diagnostic errors. Many times, these errors occurred because the physician did not have sufficient knowledge, or they applied it incorrectly; or they did not have the most up-to-date information about their patient available. Here are a few other statistics about the prevalence of diagnostic errors:

Diagnostic error in outpatient facilities is about 5 percent every year (or 1 in 20 adults); however, this figure is likely conservative
About 0.4 percent of all hospital admissions may be harmed by an error in diagnosis
10 percent of patient deaths in the hospital could be linked to diagnostic errors

Medical malpractice in Rochester happens more often than it should. Fortunately, our attorneys have handled numerous cases like these, and we are prepared to help you seek compensation for your injuries.
