Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice

For decades, our firm has helped Connecticut residents face the challenging uphill battle associated with medical malpractice. We provide guidance and care when our clients need it most. We will do what it takes to get you the answers to your question that you need. In early discussions, we’ve found that many of our clients have similar questions at the start, such as:

What are some common forms of medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is defined broadly as any instance of negligence by a medical practitioner leading to injury. This wide definition can include such issues as:

• Birth injuries: Accidents or mistakes during birth can lead to birth injuries, from broken bones to brain damage to skin injuries. These cases can lead to lifelong pain for the victims

• Medication errors: The wrong prescriptions, the wrong dosage, or an unnoticed interaction can lead to pain, ineffective treatment or painful side effects. These errors can be on the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.

• Surgical errors: Errors that happen during surgical intervention can include incorrect surgery, forgotten instruments left in a person or even damage to you beyond the confines of the surgery, and many more.

• Nursing home negligence: Either for permanent nursing home residents or temporary rehab patients, attention and regular check-ups are a necessity when you are in a nursing home. Failures can lead to bed sores, infections and new injuries from falls.

There are as many types of medical malpractice as there are medical practice areas.

Why is it important to seek a second opinion?

A second opinion on your injury is often how you will find out you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice. The average person doesn’t have the medical knowledge or insight to know what the range of outcomes is for them. But a doctor, unaffiliated with the health care system that began your treatment, certainly can explain why things haven’t gone as you expected.

What can you get out of a malpractice claim?

In a medical malpractice claim, you can target both your financial losses and your noneconomic losses, including pain and suffering, and mental anguish among many other damages. In Connecticut, medical malpractice law, unlike in many other states, does not have a cap on damages. Meaning, you can pursue these claims for a considerable amount.
