Medical malpractice can take many forms – failure to treat, surgical errors, medication errors, and more. If a provider failed to offer you an appropriate standard of care, they could have to pay for your losses.
Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complicated personal injury cases. However, we don’t shy away from tough cases. Our lawyers serving Lubbock can help keep you informed, ensure that your case contains compelling evidence that a provider harmed you, and fight for your compensation.
How do You Know When You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Medical malpractice cases involve a situation where a medical provider’s action or inaction directly led to your injury, illness, or worsened health condition. You may have a case if you can show a direct link between what your provider did (or failed to do) and your health problem.
Keep in mind that malpractice cases can involve any medical practitioner, including:
- Nurses
- Doctors
- Hospitals
- Anesthesiologists
- And more
A Failure to Act and Medical Errors Could Mean Malpractice
You may assume that a malpractice case entails taking the wrong action. However, there are many forms of medical malpractice that involve situations where a provider did not act as they should have – and this failure to act could have led to your injury or illness.
Malpractice can result from scenarios involving:
- Failure to treat
- Delayed treatment
- Improper administration of medication
- Surgery on the wrong site
- An object left in the body
For instance, if a doctor failed to monitor a mother in labor, this could result in a number of birth injuries for the child. If you were hospitalized and a doctor failed to monitor changing symptoms of your traumatic brain injury, you could face serious consequences, such as infections, according to Mayo Clinic.

What does a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Entail?
One of the central aspects of proving medical malpractice will revolve around showing that the provider did not offer you an acceptable standard of care and that you were harmed accordingly.
We will work to build evidence proving the following three elements:
- That the provider owed you a duty of care
- That they breached this duty of care
- That their action (or inaction) led to your injuries and losses
Some malpractice cases may be more straightforward than others. For instance, if a doctor operated on the wrong site, this form of malpractice may be more clear. However, some cases are far more complicated and may require expert testimony to show how your condition was worsened or created by a provider.
