Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice encompasses a wide range of situations where healthcare providers fail to meet the expected standard of care, resulting in harm to patients. Some common types of medical malpractice include:

2. Birth Injuries: Infants can suffer severe harm during childbirth due to medical negligence, including cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and other birth-related injuries.
3. Medication Errors: These errors may involve prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or administering the wrong medication to patients.
4. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to diagnose a condition or misdiagnosing it can lead to a delay in necessary treatment and cause significant harm.
5. Hospital and Nursing Home Negligence: Negligence in hospitals or nursing homes can result in falls, bedsores, medication errors, and other issues affecting patients' well-being.
