There are many forms of medical malpractice. These include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis -- the failure to diagnose a condition, or a delay in diagnosis that results in harm (e.g., cancer, heart attack). Surgical errors, such as mistakes made during surgery, operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside the patient, or causing nerve damage, are another form. Medication errors, involving prescribing the wrong medication, administering the wrong dosage, or failing to recognize potential drug interactions, can also constitute malpractice.

Birth injuries, resulting from negligence during labor and delivery that results in harm to the mother or baby (e.g., cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy), are another category. Anesthesia errors, mistakes made during the administration of anesthesia, leading to injury or death, also fall under medical malpractice. Finally, nursing home abuse, which involves the failure to adequately take care of elderly patients, is a serious form of malpractice.

If you've been a victim of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation. This includes medical expenses, covering all past and future medical costs related to the malpractice, such as corrective surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care. It also includes lost wages, recovering lost income, and compensation for any loss of earning potential. Finally, you may be compensated for pain and suffering, addressing the physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
