What is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare professional's actions or omissions deviate from accepted medical standards, resulting in harm to a patient. Common examples include:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failure to identify a condition in time, leading to worsened health outcomes.
• Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site or leaving instruments inside the patient.
• Medication Errors: Prescribing incorrect drugs or dosages, causing adverse reactions or ineffective treatment.
• Birth Injuries: Negligence during childbirth that results in injury to the mother or baby.
• Failure to Obtain Informed Consent: Performing a procedure without properly informing the patient of risks.

For a successful claim, four elements must be proven:

1. Duty of Care: The healthcare provider owed a duty to the patient.
2. Breach of Duty: The provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care.
3. Causation: The breach directly caused harm or injury.
