Common Medical Malpractice Injuries

The lawyers with BIMMA work everyday to advance the rights of people suffering from the serious consequences of medical malpractice in Atlantic Canada. Our medical malpractice lawyers have extensive experience helping individuals in the Maritimes navigate the challenges of bringing a successful legal claim against physicians, nurses, and hospitals, including claims related to the common issues listed below.

Medical Malpractice

Surgical Errors

Many surgical treatments have risks, but a surgeon and surgical team must take every precaution to ensure that their omissions or actions do not increase these risks. If the surgical team fails to fulfill accepted standards of care, and a surgical error results in significant damage or death, contact a medical malpractice lawyer.

Cauda Equina Syndrome And Spinal Stenosis

Cauda equina syndrome, abbreviated as CES, develops when the spinal nerve roots are compressed. CES is a rare illness that commonly results in medical malpractice claims. The majority of claims involve delays in diagnosis. A massive central lumbar disc herniation, prolapse, and sequestration is the most common presentation.

Emergency Room Errors

Hospital emergency rooms are bustling, chaotic environments where doctors must make life-or-death decisions swiftly and precisely. ER doctors and other medical personnel may make mistakes that result in severe injuries and tragic deaths. Our medical malpractice lawyers understand that emergency room errors can occur. However, we also understand how critical it is to hold healthcare providers and hospitals responsible for those errors.

Delayed Or Missed Diagnoses

Medical misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis may arise as a result of a failure to employ proper differential diagnoses, an incorrect reading of test results, a failure to order the relevant tests or inadequate follow-up. Whatever the details, it might have devastating implications.

Prescription Drug Errors And Pharmaceutical Errors

Prescription errors involve physicians providing incorrect medication for an ailment or prescribing the correct drug but at the incorrect dosage or frequency. Physicians can also provide a drug that is harmful to consume with other prescriptions prescribed to the same patient. Our medical malpractice lawyer in Moncton, New Brunswick, can help if you are a victim of prescription drug errors and pharmaceutical errors.

Inadequate Monitoring And Nursing Care

To prove nursing malpractice, you must demonstrate that the nurse owed you a duty as a patient. The nurse was negligent, which implies he/she did not provide the level of care that a similarly qualified medical practitioner would have provided in a similar situation. Thus, the nurse's carelessness was the direct cause of the injury. Hence, you suffered harm in a way that can be compensated.

Radiology Errors

Radiologists are medical specialists who specialize in using medical imaging technologies to diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. Many cases against radiologists entail medical errors induced by incorrect interpretation of radiological tests. In some cases, the damage you have incurred may entitle you to initiate a lawsuit against a radiologist.

Postoperative Complications And Sepsis

Not all infections of surgical wounds are the result of medical error or neglect. Some infections occur for causes beyond the doctor's control. Medical negligence occurring after surgery is referred to as postoperative medical negligence. Surgery can result in pulmonary problems and infection. This could be an infection where the skin was cut or a post-surgery infection, such as pneumonia.

Birth Injuries

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is the most prevalent childhood motor disability. This condition affects 2-3 out of 1,000 babies born. The helpless children are usually the victims of poor medical care that contributed to their predicament. If your child is a victim of a birth injury, you will need the help of skilled medical malpractice lawyers to fight for their rights.

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

While some newborns with HIE recover completely and have no long-term complications, others may experience issues that necessitate the assistance and support of healthcare experts such as physiotherapists or speech and language therapists. If your baby suffered hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy due to medical negligence, contact our medical malpractice lawyer in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Brachial Plexus Injuries

If you believe your child suffered unnecessarily as a result of a doctor's mistake, you may be eligible to claim monetary damages. A brachial plexus injury lawsuit can help you seek justice for your child while also paying for their ongoing care.

Seizures After Birth

A new baby is a bundle of hope and expectation. To the parents and relatives, every ailment that the baby might have, such as seizures, is horrible. Neonatal seizures or newborn seizures can occur as a result of brain injury caused by trauma, an infection, or oxygen deprivation during labour and delivery. Some birth injuries are a result of medical malpractice. Contact our lawyers for help.

Delayed Cesarean-Section (C-Section)

This happens when a doctor does not respond swiftly enough when it is evident that an emergency C-section is required. Due to a shortage of oxygen or other difficulties caused by the delay, this might result in significant harm or death for either the baby or the mother in some situations. Take quick action if your infant is the victim of a delayed C-section.

Vacuum Or Forceps Delivery

Before using forceps or a vacuum extractor, an obstetrician or midwife must get informed consent from the patient. If your baby was delivered with a vacuum extractor or forceps and you or the infant was injured, our medical malpractice lawyer in New Brunswick can help you. If negligence occurred, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation for medical treatment, ongoing care, and other expenses.

Failure To Progress During Labour

The mother's progress should be checked during labour. This could include utilizing a monitor to observe the frequency of contractions, the spacing between them, and the length and strength of the contractions. If the labour fails to advance, especially in the second stage, the medical team must intervene to protect the mother and baby. Failing to take appropriate action can lead to a medical malpractice claim.

Metabolic Acidosis

A variety of factors can contribute to the complications linked to acidosis. Many, however, entail instances of medical negligence. A leading cause of acidosis is the failure to perform the medical testing required for the diagnosis and treatment of acidosis.
