Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. There are several types of medical malpractice, each involving different aspects of patient care:
1. Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
A misdiagnosis happens when a healthcare provider incorrectly identifies a condition, while a delayed diagnosis occurs when a diagnosis is not made in a timely manner. Both scenarios can lead to inappropriate or delayed treatment, worsening the patient’s condition.
2. Medication Errors
Medication errors can include prescribing the wrong drug, incorrect dosages, or failing to account for potential drug interactions. These mistakes can lead to serious health consequences, including severe reactions or worsening of the original condition.
3. Surgical Errors
Surgical errors encompass a range of issues, including improperly performing the procedure, performing the wrong procedure, leaving foreign objects inside the patient, or operating on the wrong site. These errors can result in severe complications and prolonged recovery times.
4. Birth Injuries
Errors during childbirth can lead to injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, anoxic/hypoxic brain injury, or other birth-related complications. These injuries often require lifelong medical care and support.
5. Anesthesia Errors
Anesthesia errors occur when a patient receives too much or too little anesthesia, or when there are issues with its administration. Such errors can lead to severe complications, including brain damage or death.
6. Failure to Follow Up
A healthcare provider's failure to follow up on test results, treatment plans, or referrals can result in missed diagnoses or progression of an untreated condition. This negligence can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Mayfield Law represented me in a rear end collision from a fully loaded dump truck. After treatment and eventually neck surgery, they were there for support and checked on my health often. Finally after over 2 years, Mayfield Law negotiated an amazing settlement. I can't express the professionalism, knowledge and support I received from the entire office. Special thanks to Alex and Jessie who were by my side throughout the emotional and painful experience.- Julie E.

Met with Alex as another Attorney referred me to him based on the niche. Really is informative and will keep you up to date during negotiations as well as what to expect in the court room. He makes sure that he’s fully prepared and you as the client is fully prepared. At the end if our particular case the judge actually thanked him for his demeanor in the court room, dunno if that’s normal but it certainly felt good to see!- James T.
