- Birth Injuries and Cerebral Palsy
If your infant or toddler is diagnosed with mental or motor development delays or cerebral palsy, you have cause to suspect medical malpractice during or following delivery. While some birth injuries can be minor, others are severe and may cause a lifetime of medical challenges and medical expenses. However, not all birth injuries result from medical errors or negligence. The question is whether the injury was caused by negligence or error made by the obstetrician, nurse, pediatrician, neonatologist, or other healthcare provider.

Hospitals must adhere to medical standard of care and are required to follow the rules and procedures set forth by the state licensing boards.
• Misdiagnosis
There are several different types of misdiagnosis considered malpractice, including wrong diagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and an incorrect diagnosis of a subtype (in which the overall condition is correctly determined, but the subtype of the condition is incorrectly diagnosed). A failure to correctly diagnose a condition can cause the condition to worsen. In extreme cases, such as a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer, this negligence can result in the patient’s death. Dr. Michael Wilson is both an attorney and a physician, well qualified to determine if you have a valid claim of misdiagnosis.
• Surgical error
A surgeon's error can have devastating and long-term effects. A surgical error can compound an existing problem or create new injuries to the patient. Such errors range from mistakes made during surgery to operating on the wrong body part. Common surgical errors and their results include—

. Perforated bowels
. Operating on the wrong organ

. Removal of the wrong organ

The report also indicates that the extra cost of treating drug-related injuries stemming from medication errors amounts to $3.5 billion. The study found that nearly 400,000 drug-related injuries occurred in hospitals and 800,000 occurred in long-term healthcare facilities.
