You may be a victim of medical malpractice if a healthcare provider’s negligence caused you harm that could have been prevented. Common signs include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, or failure to obtain informed consent. To be considered malpractice, there must be a clear link between the provider’s actions (or inactions) and your injury. Consulting a medical malpractice attorney and reviewing your medical records can help determine if you have a valid claim.
