Medical Malpractice Attorneys: Advocating for Victims of Medical Negligence

When you place your trust in a medical professional, you expect to receive competent and effective care. Unfortunately, medical errors are a leading cause of injury and death in the United States, and when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, the consequences can be devastating. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to medical negligence, you need an experienced legal team to fight for your rights and hold the responsible parties accountable.

At Ironclad Injury Law, our medical malpractice attorneys are dedicated to representing victims of medical negligence across Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis, and South Florida. With a deep understanding of the complexities involved in these cases, our team is committed to helping you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.

Understanding Medical Malpractice

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider—whether a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or other medical professional—fails to provide the standard of care that a reasonably skilled professional in the same field would provide under similar circumstances. This failure can result in injury, illness, or even death. Common examples of medical malpractice include:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to correctly diagnose a medical condition or delaying a diagnosis, leading to worsened outcomes for the patient.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary surgery.
  • Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to account for potential drug interactions.
  • Birth Injuries: Injuries to the mother or child during childbirth due to medical negligence, including improper use of delivery tools or failure to perform a timely C-section.
  • Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, failing to monitor the patient, or not reviewing the patient’s medical history for anesthesia risks.
  • Failure to Obtain Informed Consent: Performing a procedure or treatment without the patient’s informed consent, which includes explaining the risks and alternatives.

Proving Medical Malpractice: The Four Elements

To succeed in a medical malpractice case, the plaintiff must prove four key elements:

1. Duty of Care

The first element requires establishing that a doctor-patient relationship existed, meaning the healthcare provider owed you a duty of care. This relationship is usually straightforward to prove, as it typically exists whenever a healthcare provider agrees to treat a patient.

2. Breach of Duty

Next, you must prove that the healthcare provider breached the duty of care by failing to act as a reasonably competent provider would under similar circumstances. This breach can occur through actions (such as performing a surgery incorrectly) or omissions (such as failing to diagnose a condition).

3. Causation

Causation is often the most challenging element to prove in a medical malpractice case. You must demonstrate that the healthcare provider’s breach of duty directly caused your injury or worsened your condition. This typically requires expert testimony to establish the connection between the provider’s negligence and the harm suffered.

4. Damages

Finally, you must prove that the breach of duty resulted in damages, which can include physical pain, emotional suffering, additional medical bills, lost income, and other financial losses. The more comprehensive the evidence of damages, the stronger your case will be.

Types of Compensation in Medical Malpractice Cases

Victims of medical malpractice may be entitled to a range of compensation, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for the cost of additional medical treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical care related to the injury.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to time away from work during recovery, as well as loss of earning capacity if the injury results in long-term disability.
  • Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life caused by the malpractice.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the impact of the injury on the victim’s relationship with their spouse or family.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of particularly egregious negligence, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the healthcare provider and deter similar conduct in the future.
