What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice (also known as medical negligence) occurs when a health care provider causes injury or death by failing to act within the applicable standard of care — meaning he or she fails to act as a reasonable medical practitioner would under the circumstances, and, as a result, causes harm to the patient.

What kind of cases are medical malpractice?

Some specific examples of medical malpractice cases include:

• A child who suffered brain damage and developed cerebral palsy as a result of mismanagement of labor and delivery
• Failure to diagnose and treat a spinal infection in a timely manner
• Mismanaged anesthesia resulting in death
• Failure to diagnose aortic dissection
• Recoveries for victims of dangerous drugs and pharmaceutical products, including Baycol, Prempro, Rezulin, Fen Phen, breast implants and latex gloves
• Foreign objects left inside surgery patients including sponges, towels, and instruments

Should I avoid social media while my case is pending?

Absolutely yes. There are many ways that social media posts can be taken out of context to dispute a claim. Simply discussing how you spent the day may cause the opposing party to argue that you are not taking reasonable steps to facilitate your medical recovery. In other words, they might say that you have failed to mitigate your damages and, therefore, you should be held at least partially liable for your medical costs and other losses.

There are many other ways for a seemingly benign social media post to harm your case. As such, you should set your profiles to private or, preferably, disable all social media accounts until the resolution of your case. You should also ask your connections not to post anything about you or tag you in photos, and decline any new connection requests from people whom you do not recognize.
