A wrongful death case can result from a doctor’s medical negligence causing the death of a patient. Medical negligence is when a doctor’s methods and practices are not performed safely and correctly according to the standard of care which results in the patient being harmed. There are some technicalities within proving medical negligence which you can discuss with an attorney. However, if you believe that a loved one suffered from medical malpractice which was the cause leading to their eventual death, you should seek justice through a wrongful death attorney.

A doctor’s duty includes being able to be reliable to advise and treat their patients according to a universally accepted standard of care. This duty is a much higher and specialized expectation than many other relationships between two individuals. When this special duty is breached, they are acting negligently and putting the patient’s life at risk. Examples of medical negligence may include failing to diagnose a life-threatening disease, incorrectly administering anesthesia so a patient is partially awake during a procedure or overdoses, leaving an object in a patient’s body during surgery resulting in infection and complications, and many more. If a doctor failed to uphold the standard that is expected of them during a medical practice, they are acting negligently. This can have dire consequences for the patient and would be preventable had they exercised more care and caution in their practice.
