Breach of Standard of Care
Failure to adhere to the standards of care established by the medical profession constitutes medical malpractice. Victims often need corrective surgery to undo the wrong done. In many cases, no treatment or therapy will help the victim regain normal bodily functions after an injury such as accidental perforation of the bowel during gall bladder surgery.
Other injuries that have been reported as a result of medical error include the following:
- Birth defects resulting from negligent prenatal care or obstetrics during labor and delivery
- Nerve damage
- Scarring
- Cognitive dysfunction
- Vision loss
- Burns in infant intensive care
