When does Medical Malpractice happen and what does it include?

Medical malpractice, also referred to as med-mal, healthcare liability, doctor malpractice, doctor negligence, hospital malpractice, nursing negligence, or hospital negligence, occurs when a healthcare professional makes a careless (negligent) or reckless error, which results in harm to you, the patient. This can be particularly disturbing because we, as a society, rely on and trust our healthcare system, and especially our doctors, to provide quality medical care and act in our best interest. However, a 2004 study concluded that in an estimated 9 out of 10 medical malpractice trials, the alleged harm involved either a permanent injury (57%) or a wrongful death claim (33%). People in Arlington and Tarrant County, Texas are injured every day due to negligent errors and sometimes even physician recklessness in hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the Arlington area.

Areas of medical malpractice include, but are not limited to:

• Doctor error
• Hospital error
• Surgical error
• Birth injuries
• Infant brain damage
• Medication error
• Failure to diagnose
• Misdiagnosis
• Nursing errors
• Nursing home negligence
• Assault & Battery

If you or a loved one has suffered at the hands of a negligent doctor or healthcare professional, you know how devastating this can be, particularly when the injuries sustained are serious, long-lasting, debilitating, or, worst of all, have caused a death.

Birth Brain Injury Lawyers & Trauma Sustained at Birth

Infant brain trauma in Arlington, Texas is just one of many areas of medical malpractice law; however, it is a unique area because the long lasting effects of a birth brain injury will impact all areas of a child’s life. The high strain placed upon the woman’s and baby’s body is extremely dangerous. The baby must deal with compression, contractions, twisting down the birthing canal, and being choked on the umbilical cord. As a result, many babies suffer injuries due to their oxygen supply being cut off or from the general strain from the birthing process. While the birthing process is difficult, the sad truth is that many times a baby’s injury is the result of hospital, doctor, or nurse negligence during the birthing procedure that could have been avoided altogether. Your baby may suffer from a long list of injuries such as: cerebral palsy, brachial plexus, birth hypoxia, shoulder dystocia, or Erb’s palsy.

If you believe that your child’s brain injury, learning disability, or physical or mental impairment might have been sustained during birth, you may have a legal claim against the Arlington doctor, nurse, and/or hospital. Contact an Arlington medical malpractice attorney or Tarrant County medical malpractice attorney to discuss your options.
