You Should Never Have to Regret Getting Medical Care

If you’re like many people, you probably grew up thinking doctors and nurses work to help you feel better when you’re sick or heal from injuries if you were in an accident. Although these are the ideals healthcare providers swear to uphold, the unfortunate reality is that instances of medical malpractice can and do occur, leading to devastating consequences for patients.



Medical malpractice is a complex and sensitive subject that revolves around the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals. When patients seek medical care, they place their trust and well-being in the hands of doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers. However, in unfortunate circumstances, medical errors, misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes or improper treatment can happen, leading to devastating consequences for the patients involved.


If you or someone you love has suffered injuries instead of healing after medical treatment, you have every right to financial compensation for the unnecessary pain, complications and financial hardships you endured.


At the Buckeye Law Group in Dayton, our medical malpractice attorneys are here to provide you with the legal expertise and support you need during this challenging time. Our dedicated team of medical malpractice attorneys understand the intricacies of these complex cases and is committed to advocating for your rights and seeking the compensation you deserve.

What Does Medical Malpractice Typically Look Like?

Medical malpractice can manifest in various forms and can occur at any stage of medical treatment, from diagnosis to surgery and post-operative care. Here are some examples of what medical malpractice may look like:



Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failure to correctly identify a medical condition or delays in diagnosis, resulting in the worsening of symptoms and even death.


Surgical errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient or performing unnecessary procedures.


Medication errors: Administration of incorrect medications, incorrect dosage or failure to consider drug interactions, leading to adverse effects or complications.


Anesthesia errors: Improper administration of anesthesia, resulting in complications like allergic reactions, brain damage or even wrongful death.


Birth injuries: Injuries sustained by a newborn or mother during childbirth due to medical negligence, such as failure to monitor fetal distress or improper use of delivery instruments.


Failure to provide appropriate treatment: Failure to provide the standard of care expected in a particular situation, resulting in harm to the patient.


Lack of informed consent: Failure to adequately inform patients of the risks, benefits and alternatives of a particular treatment or procedure, leading to unexpected complications.


Hospital-acquired infections: Infections caused by inadequate sanitation or hygiene practices in a hospital or medical facility.


These are some common examples of cases that may arise due to substandard medical care, but keep in mind, medical malpractice cases can encompass a wide range of circumstances and outcomes. Another thing that’s important to know is that not all unfavorable medical outcomes are considered malpractice.

To establish medical malpractice, you must prove the healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care and this deviation directly caused harm or injury to the patient. Each case is unique, and a thorough investigation by a personal injury lawyer is typically required to determine if medical malpractice has occurred.

Are Doctors the Only Healthcare Providers that Can Be Sued for Medical Malpractice?

While doctors like surgeons, anesthesiologists, oncologists and gynecologists are commonly associated with medical malpractice cases, other healthcare providers may also be subject to such claims.


Nurses: Nurses can be held accountable for their actions or omissions that result in harm to patients. This can include medication errors, failure to monitor patients or inadequate patient care.


Dentists: Dental malpractice can occur when dentists fail to provide appropriate treatment, perform procedures incorrectly or cause injuries during dental procedures.


Pharmacists: Pharmacists can be held responsible for medication errors, dispensing incorrect medications or dosages or failing to provide proper instructions or warnings regarding medication usage.


Allied health professionals: Various allied health professionals, such as physical therapists, chiropractors, radiologists and laboratory technicians, can also be held accountable for medical malpractice if their actions or negligence cause harm to patients.



Keep in mind, the specific laws and regulations regarding medical malpractice can vary. Consulting with a qualified attorney experienced in medical malpractice cases is advisable to understand the legal aspects specific to your situation.
