What Are The 3 Types Of Malpractice?
There are three primary forms of medical malpractice.

FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE CORRECTLY
If whatever ails you is diagnosed incorrectly in the first place, you not only aren’t going to receive the treatment that you need in order to recover, but you also face the side effects and negative consequences of receiving a treatment that you don’t need. Lest you think this isn’t a huge concern, it’s important to know that – according to a study reported on by CBS – 12 million people are misdiagnosed in this country every year. Even if the misdiagnosis itself doesn’t lead to injury, it will almost certainly delay the treatment that you do need, which can have devastating effects.

BIRTH INJURIES
Both mother and child are vulnerable during labor and delivery, and birth injuries are a very common form of medical malpractice. Common birth injuries that are sometimes related to medical malpractice include:

Brain damage
Skull fractures
Intrauterine fetal demise
Spinal cord injuries
MEDICATION INJURIES
The wrong medication can do a tremendous amount of damage, and this is not to mention the fact that the patient may not receive the medication that could have provided them with the relief sought. Medication errors can come in all the following forms:

Prescribing the wrong medication
Prescribing the wrong dosage
Dispensing the wrong medication
Giving a patient the wrong medication or wrong dosage – such as in a hospital or healthcare facility setting
Failing to take drug interactions into consideration
Faultily functioning medication dispensing equipment
While there are a wide range of medical malpractice categories, the majority of claims fall into these three.
