What is Considered Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or hospital, fails to provide the accepted standard of care, and this failure directly results in patient injury or death. These are not simple cases of an undesirable medical outcome; they involve proving a clear breach of professional duty that caused harm.

Our team of Belleville medical malpractice attorneys has extensive experience handling a wide range of complex claims, including: 

• Birth Trauma: Injuries to an infant or mother during pregnancy, labour, or delivery, including cases of cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or hypoxic brain damage.
• Diagnostic Errors: The failure to diagnose, a delayed diagnosis, or a misdiagnosis of a serious illness like cancer, stroke, or heart disease, leading to a loss of critical treatment time. 
• Surgical Malpractice: Mistakes made in the operating room, such as operating on the wrong site, anesthesia errors, damaging nerves or organs, or leaving foreign objects behind.
• Medication Errors: Harm caused by being prescribed the wrong medication, an incorrect dosage, or harmful drug combinations.
