Medical Malpractice Lawyer Windsor

Major, invasive surgeries carry risks. No one would agree to this kind of procedure unless their practitioner or specialist explained why it was medically necessary. Learning that you had advanced breast would certainly be reason enough to consent to a lumpectomy and lymph node removal. But what if you discovered you were actually cancer-free prior to the operation?

A Windsor woman experienced this terrible ordeal when incorrect patient identification at a local hospital caused her to undergo unnecessary surgery. Although the hospital announced it would take corrective action to ensure it didn’t happen again, it admitted the error was “a result of not following existing policies and procedures.”

What Is Medical malpractice?

One in 13 hospital patients in Canada will experience an adverse event during the course of their stay, and 40 per cent of these incidents are preventable. When the standards of professional medical care are breached and a health care provider’s negligence causes an injury, it’s called medical malpractice.

Preventable adverse events include:

surgical errors (medical instruments and other foreign objects left in the body, infection from poor sanitary practices or poor surgical technique, surgery on the wrong body part or patient)
misdiagnosis (improper testing, delayed diagnosis)
medication errors (problems with doses, delivery or incorrect medication)
birth injuries (brachial palsy and shoulder dystocia, acquired brain injuries, spinal cord damage, significant swelling of soft tissue of the scalp (caput succedaneum), bruising or marks from forceps, and fractures
