Medical Malpractice

Parsippany Medical Malpractice Lawyer

What is Medical Malpractice?

When you entrust your health to medical professionals, you expect competent, compassionate care. However, medical mistakes happen, and they can result in devastating consequences for patients and their families.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient. This negligence can happen at any stage of medical treatment, from diagnosis and surgery to aftercare. While not all medical errors qualify as malpractice, those that do often involve preventable mistakes, improper treatments, or omissions that lead to injury or wrongful death.

At DeZao & DeZao, P.C. , P.A., we are committed to helping victims of medical malpractice in Parsippany, NJ, secure the justice and compensation they deserve. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a healthcare provider's negligence, our Parsippany medical malpractice lawyer is here to help.

Proving Medical Malpractice

Proving medical malpractice requires demonstrating four key elements:

  1. Doctor-Patient Relationship: There must be evidence that a formal relationship existed between you and the healthcare provider, establishing their duty to provide care.
  2. Breach of Duty: The provider must have failed to deliver care that aligns with the accepted standard expected of a competent professional in the same field.
  3. Causation: You must show that the provider's negligence directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
  4. Damages: Finally, you must demonstrate that the malpractice resulted in significant harm, such as physical pain, additional medical expenses, lost income, or emotional distress.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice can take many forms. At DeZao & DeZao, P.C. , P.A., we have successfully represented clients in cases involving:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a healthcare provider fails to correctly diagnose a condition, it can delay critical treatment, leading to severe harm or death.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as operating on the wrong site, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or causing unnecessary injuries, can have life-altering consequences.
  • Medication Errors: Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or drug interactions can result in serious health complications or fatalities.
  • Birth Injuries: Errors during childbirth can lead to conditions such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or maternal injuries.
  • Anesthesia Mistakes: Negligence in administering anesthesia can cause brain damage, paralysis, or wrongful death.
  • Hospital Negligence: Inadequate staffing, poor sanitation, and other systemic failures in hospitals often lead to malpractice claims.

Who is Liable?

Medical malpractice cases can involve multiple liable parties, including:

  • Doctors: Physicians are often held accountable for diagnostic errors, surgical mistakes, or improper treatments.
  • Nurses: Errors in medication administration, patient monitoring, or follow-up care can make nurses liable.
  • Hospitals and Clinics: Facilities can be held responsible for systemic issues like understaffing, lack of proper training, or unsanitary conditions.
  • Specialists: Anesthesiologists, radiologists, and other specialists can be liable for negligence in their areas of expertise.

Identifying all responsible parties is crucial to maximizing your compensation.
