How Medical Malpractice Occurs

In a world of rapidly advancing technology, medical errors should be a thing of the past. Yet, they still happen due to human oversight and systemic issues. Common contributing factors include:

  • Failing to timely recognize and treat a dangerous condition causing damage to adjacent anatomy during surgery
  • Understaffing, especially in places like emergency rooms, leading to inadequate patient care
  • Cutting costs at the expense of patient safety
  • Insufficient training or oversight of medical staff
  • Lack of proper safety protocols
  • Failure to take appropriate action against negligent personnel
  • Negligent hiring

These factors can create a high-risk environment where medical errors are more likely to happen. Our medical malpractice attorneys understand how to uncover these and other factors to paint a full picture of how and why the harm occurred.
