Medical malpractice involves any type of mistake or error in judgment made by a medical professional that results in a patient’s injury. When we go to the doctor or the hospital for surgery, we trust that the medical professionals in charge of our care will help us, not hurt us. Some of the most common types of medical malpractice injuries involve brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, birth injuries, and nursing home abuse. Medical malpractice can also include doctors issuing incorrect prescriptions, giving patients the wrong types of medication, making errors and surgeries, or failing to diagnose a condition properly. If you have been the victim of medical malpractice that has left you with debilitating pain or other injuries, we recommend consulting with one of our Ocean County personal injury lawyers as soon as possible so we can estimate the total value of your medical malpractice claim and advocate for you to obtain the total amount of compensation you need and deserve.
