When you or a loved one seeks medical attention, you seek a medical provider you can trust. You safely assume that the medical provider will do everything in his power to help you, and care for you within the standard of care in the community. At times, however, a bad outcome is the result of a medical provider’s negligence. This is called medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor or other health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury to a patient. The negligence might occur because of errors in diagnosis, treatment, or health management.

In order to succeed in proving that medical malpractice has occurred, we must prove that the medical provider departed from the standard of care in the community, and that this departure from the standard of care caused personal injuries.

In Connecticut, there is a two (2) year statute of limitations to bring a medical malpractice claim, so time is of the essence. Additionally, Connecticut requires that anyone filing a medical malpractice claim based upon negligence submit a “good faith certificate” with their complaint. This rule is established in General Statutes § 52-190a, and requires that the injured patient seek a similar health care provider to give an opinion that the medical provider departed from the standard of care.  All of these rules and statutes create an uphill battle for the injured victim: a battle that Etemi Law is prepared to fight.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice can take many forms, including but not limited to:

  • Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: When a doctor fails to diagnose a condition correctly or delays a diagnosis, the patient may suffer from worsening conditions that could have been treated earlier.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or causing excessive bleeding, can have devastating effects.
  • Medication Errors: Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or incorrect dosage can lead to severe complications or even death.
  • Birth Injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery can result in serious injuries to both the mother and the child, including cerebral palsy, nerve damage, and fractures.
  • Anesthesia Errors: Incorrectly administered anesthesia can cause brain damage, stroke, or even death.
  • Failure to Treat: If a doctor correctly diagnoses a condition but fails to provide adequate treatment, the patient may suffer unnecessary harm.

What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

If you believe that you or a loved one has been a victim of medical malpractice, it is crucial to take the following steps:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: If you are experiencing complications due to suspected malpractice, seek medical help from another qualified healthcare provider immediately.
  2. Obtain Medical Records: Your medical records serve as essential evidence in a malpractice case. Request copies of all relevant medical documentation as soon as possible.
  3. Document Everything: Keep a journal detailing your symptoms, treatments, and any interactions with healthcare providers.
  4. Consult a Medical Malpractice Lawyer: Legal expertise is necessary to evaluate your case, gather evidence, and navigate Connecticut’s complex malpractice laws.
  5. Act Quickly: Since there is a two-year statute of limitations, do not delay in seeking legal counsel.
