What is Medical Malpractice?

Sometimes, medical care or procedures have bad outcomes, including being injured or dying. However, not all bad outcomes are caused by negligence. Medical malpractice results when a bad outcome or death occurs because the medical provider and/or healthcare system failed to meet the accepted standards of care.

Four elements are typically required for a medical malpractice claim to move forward:

Duty: The medical provider must have owed a duty of care to the patient, which usually means a doctor-patient relationship existed.
Breach of Duty: The medical provider must have breached that duty by failing to meet the accepted standard of medical care (i.e., the medical provider acted in a way that another medical provider reasonably would not have in a similar circumstance).
Causation: The deviation from the accepted standard of medical care caused the patient to suffer harm/injury, or death.
Damages: The patient suffered harm/injury, or death that can be compensated.

How Does Medical Malpractice Happen?

Medical malpractice can often be traced to these forms of medical negligence:

Treating a patient when overly fatigued or distracted.
Understaffing a healthcare facility so patients do not get enough time with the doctor or nurse.
Medical providers failing to document care in a timely manner leading to miscommunication.
Medical providers considering a potential diagnosis but failing to finish the work up to exclude it or treat it.
Allowing an untrained medical provider to provide care without appropriate supervision or oversight.
Miscommunication between doctors, nurses, lab techs, etc.
Healthcare systems failing to hire competent nurses or failing to train.
Failing to keep a healthcare facility sterile and hygienic.

Healthcare systems and individual providers almost never tell patients “what happened/what went wrong.” You can tell us your story and expect our Phoenix medical malpractice attorneys and team, including our In-House Medical Consultant and top tier experts, to thoroughly investigate the cause of your injuries or loved one’s death by diligently reviewing your medical records and other documents related to the medical providers and healthcare facilities.
