How do you know when you have a malpractice case.

Here are some general signs that may indicate a malpractice case:

1. Negligence: If a healthcare professional neglected to take necessary steps to diagnose or treat a patient's condition, this may be considered negligence.
2. Misdiagnosis: If a healthcare professional misdiagnosed a patient's condition, this may result in incorrect treatment or delayed treatment, which can worsen the patient's condition.
3. Medication errors: If a healthcare professional made errors in prescribing, dispensing or administering medication, this may lead to harm or injury to the patient.
4. Failure to obtain informed consent: If a healthcare professional fails to obtain informed consent from a patient before performing a medical procedure, and the patient suffers injury or harm as a result, this may be considered malpractice.
5. Breach of duty: If a healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care that is expected of them, this may be considered a breach of duty.

It is recommended to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney to evaluate the specific circumstances and determine if there are grounds for a malpractice case.
