Common Types of Medical Malpractice Claims in Hartford

Healthcare providers must deliver care that meets the accepted medical standard: the level of care that a similarly qualified provider would deliver under similar circumstances. This exact standard will depend on the situation and the type of medical care in question. However, the bottom line is that when a medical professional fails to meet this standard and causes harm to patients, they may be held liable for malpractice.

At Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, our Hartford medical malpractice attorneys have represented victims of numerous medical errors. Some of the most common causes that we handle include:

Surgical Errors: A surgeon operates on the wrong body part, leaves surgical instruments inside a patient, or makes critical mistakes during the procedure that lead to serious complications.
Misdiagnosis: A doctor fails to recognize clear symptoms of a serious condition, leading to delayed treatment and worsened health outcomes for the patient.
Birth Injuries: Medical staff fail to properly monitor fetal distress, delay necessary cesarean sections, or commit other acts of negligence that result in permanent injuries to the newborn.
Medication Errors: Healthcare providers prescribe incorrect medications, wrong dosages, or fail to check for dangerous drug interactions that harm the patient.
Anesthesia Mistakes: Anesthesiologists fail to review patient histories, administer the correct amount of anesthesia, monitor vital signs, or respond to complications during surgery.
Emergency Room Negligence: Staff members miss critical symptoms, fail to order necessary tests, or discharge patients prematurely without proper evaluation.
Hospital-Acquired Infections: Medical facilities fail to maintain proper sanitation protocols, leading to the spread of dangerous infections that compromise patient health.

Compensation Available in a Hartford Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

Medical negligence can devastate your physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. When you suffer from a new injury or worsening medical condition, it can affect your ability to work, care for your family, and enjoy life’s activities. Depending on the extent of your injury, you may require ongoing medical treatments, rehabilitation needs, and personal care assistance. All of this can take a toll on every aspect of your life.

When you file a medical malpractice lawsuit, you can recover financial resources to help address these challenges. For example, your claim can cover:

All past and future medical expenses that you now require due to the malpractice
