Are You a Victim?

If your doctor, hospital or pharmacist makes a mistake, and these mistakes cause you serious injury, you have been a victim of medical malpractice. Our lives depend on medical professionals. They must be held accountable for careless mistakes.

Ten Questions to Ask Yourself

1. Did you or a family member suffer a severe or permanent injury while under the care of a doctor, hospital or other health care provider?

2. Did your doctor keep information from you about your medical condition or fail to disclose all the possible risks of your surgery and one of those risks caused you injury?

3. Did your insurance company question the appropriateness of specific procedures, tests or diagnoses that resulted in delaying your treatment or preventing you from getting the best treatment for your condition?

4. Did your doctor cause appropriate medical treatment to be delayed by failing to test for and diagnose a disease in a timely manner?

5. Did your doctor cause an injury to you or your baby during childbirth?

6. Did prescription medication cause you injury?

7. Did you suffer injury because the equipment used during medical treatment or surgery was faulty, broken, or handled improperly?

8. Did your doctor fail to refer you to an appropriate specialist (such as an orthopedic surgeon, neurologist or cardiovascular surgeon) and as a result your condition worsened?

9. Did your doctor fail to follow up on an abnormal test result or to order the proper test in a timely manner?

Were you discharged from a hospital or from your doctor’s care before you should have been and as a result your condition or injury worsened?
