• Delayed diagnosis: this occurs when there is a delay in diagnosis that ultimately leads to the patient’s condition worsening due to lack of necessary treatment. In general, in these cases the patient eventually is correctly diagnosed but the harm resulting from the delay is irreversible.
• Failure to treat: this occurs when doctors correctly make a diagnosis but fail to follow up and provide the necessary treatment, ultimately leading to the harm that the patient suffers.
• Misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis: this occurs when doctors examine the patient but are not able to diagnose the illness (that is, they incorrectly diagnose the patient or fail to diagnose any illness). The misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis prevents patients from getting the care that they need. Likewise, patients can wrongfully receive care that they do not need.
• Surgical errors: this occurs when doctors make mistakes during surgeries, including but not limited to performing the wrong procedure, performing unnecessary surgery, leaving medical tools inside the patient, damaging nerves, organs, or tissue during the procedure, administering an incorrect amount or type of anesthesia, issuing the wrong prescription, or failing to provide adequate care after the procedure, for instance.

Your Right to Sue for Medical Malpractice

The right to sue for medical malpractice is based on medical negligence. To prove medical negligence, you must first be able to prove that there was a doctor-patient relationship. That is, the doctor agreed to treat, and the patient agreed to be treated. If a doctor-patient relationship exists, then the doctor owes the patient a duty of care – specifically a duty of care to exercise care and skill when treating the patient. If the doctor fails to exercise care while treating the patient, they can actually harm the patient.

So, can you sue? If you can prove that the harm that you suffered was a direct result of the negligent actions of a doctor or medical team, you could sue. You could sue the doctor, but you could also sue the hospital.
