Failing to treat a patient can result in serious injuries or death. Doctors and hospitals have a duty to properly treat their patients’ conditions. When they fail to do so, they can be liable to pay damages to the victims.

Doctors must properly monitor patients and provide follow-up care following surgical procedures. If your doctor failed to provide proper care following your surgery, you might have a viable malpractice claim if the failure caused harm.

Doctors must take special care to avoid making surgical mistakes. Unfortunately, however, surgical errors frequently occur. When a doctor’s surgical mistakes result in serious harm, including subsequent corrective surgeries, disfigurement, and other injuries, the victim might have a valid malpractice claim.

A prescription drug error can be serious. If a doctor, pharmacist, nurse, or another medical professional caused your serious injuries because of prescription drug errors, you should speak to our Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyers about your legal options.

Doctors must secure informed consent before they perform elective procedures. This includes explaining the known risks of the procedure so the patient can make an informed decision. If you suffered the type of risk that your doctor failed to warn you about, you might have grounds to file a malpractice lawsuit.

While cases vary, some of the categories of damages you might recover in a malpractice claim include the following:

• Past and future medical expenses related to your injuries
• Past and future wage losses
• Physical pain and suffering
• Disability
• Mental anguish
• Disfigurement/scarring
• Burial and funeral costs in wrongful death cases
• Loss of consortium/guidance in wrongful death cases

Depending on what happened, punitive damages might also be available.
