Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice is an umbrella term used to encompass a variety of medical errors. Doctors are usually the subject of medical malpractice cases, but lawsuits can include any other healthcare worker, including nurses and pharmacists. In some circumstances, the hospital or healthcare facility may be liable for the incident. Common types of medical malpractice cases include either a misdiagnosis, an act of negligence, a mistake prescribing or administering medication, or a surgical error.

If you or someone you love received inadequate medical care and was injured as a result, our firm wants to help. Whether your child suffered a birth injury due to doctor negligence or you sustained a serious infection due to contaminated surgical instruments, our El Paso personal injury attorneys are prepared to review your situation and start building a solid case on your behalf.

Understanding Pharmaceutical Injuries

Not all medical mistakes have to do with surgical mistakes or problems with diagnoses. Some medical injuries are caused by pharmaceutical errors. The opioid crisis is becoming an increasingly problematic epidemic, and the over-prescription of such medications has led countless individuals down a dark path to addiction. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38,000 people in the United States die of drug overdoses each year, many of which are caused by prescription medications.

Dangerous Drugs & Your Right to Compensation

Besides the over-prescription of drugs, other pharmaceutical issues include defective or dangerous drugs, which can cause seriously harmful side effects. Some medications cause more harm than good, leaving ill patients with even worse medical conditions than they had before they took the dangerous drug. For example, some notably dangerous drugs on the market today aim to treat high cholesterol but cause Type 2 diabetes, and some forms of birth control may cause organ perforation and high-risk pregnancies.

The pharmaceutical companies who make drugs like these rake in millions of dollars each year in drug sales. These companies are responsible for practicing responsible marketing, adequately testing their drugs, and providing doctors and patients with warnings as to any known side effects. If you were harmed by a defective or dangerous drug, you have a right to pursue justice and compensation from the liable party.
