Newark is home to a number of private, public and university hospitals and and further has many healthcare centers in and around the city. Accidents, negligence and mistakes are bound to happen.
Injuries involved in medical malpractice claims come from all kinds of sources. Some of the common sources of medical malpractice injuries include, but are not limited to:
A number of different surgical errors can occur due to inadequate preoperative planning or preparation, surgeon incompetence, miscommunication, patient information mix-ups or confusion, failure to use the appropriate operation protocol, and doctor fatigue.
Medication errors often involve mistakes in prescribing, filling or administering a prescription drug. A dosage could be incorrect, the medication could be the wrong kind, or one patient could receive medication meant for another.
A missed or delayed diagnosis leads to delays in getting a patient the appropriate course of treatment. Delays can make an illness or condition worse due to a lapse of time.
Having too much or too little anesthesia administered to a patient can cause all kinds of problems during surgery. The patient could wake up or might not be completely knocked out.
A number of injuries can occur during birth, both to the mother and the child. A difficult delivery has a higher chance of producing injuries.
