Examples of Medical Malpractice claims
A patient is being helped from their bed to a wheelchair, but the wheels of the chair are not locked. The patient falls to the floor, breaking their hip and wrist. The patient’s family sues for negligence and emotional distress.
A patient undergoes what is normally a low-risk procedure, but there is a complication, and the patient dies while under anesthesia. The family sues the doctor, alleging negligence.
A visitor at an assisted living facility slips and falls on a wet floor in the rest room. They sue for medical expenses, as well as for lost wages.
