Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to fatal consequences.
Some of the most common causes of wrongful death due to medical negligence include:
Mistakes made during surgery can have deadly consequences. Operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or failing to address complications can result in fatal injuries.
Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to recognize dangerous drug interactions can lead to fatal overdoses or severe adverse reactions.
Failure to accurately diagnose severe conditions such as cancer, infections, or heart disease can lead to delayed or improper treatment, often resulting in preventable deaths.
Anesthesia errors, including overdosing, failing to monitor the patient’s vital signs, or administering anesthesia to a patient with known allergies, can cause fatal respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
When medical professionals ignore symptoms, misinterpret test results, or fail to provide timely treatment, a patient’s condition can worsen to the point of becoming fatal.
Medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery—such as failure to monitor fetal distress, improper use of forceps or vacuum extraction, or failure to perform a necessary C-section—can lead to newborn fatalities.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities must follow strict protocols to prevent infections. When sterile conditions are not maintained or infections are not promptly treated, the consequences can be fatal.
If your loved one’s death was caused by medical negligence, you have the right to seek legal action. Contact Wrongful Death Krause Law Firm today to discuss your case.
When a loved one dies due to medical negligence, multiple parties may be held legally responsible depending on the circumstances surrounding the wrongful death.
In Georgia, liability for medical malpractice and wrongful death claims can extend to various individuals and institutions involved in the patient’s care. Identifying the responsible parties is crucial in ensuring accountability and securing compensation for surviving family members.
That may include:
Physicians are required to provide a standard level of care to their patients. If a doctor’s misdiagnosis, surgical error, failure to order necessary tests, improper treatment, or medication mistake leads to a patient’s death, they may be held liable for medical malpractice.
Nurses are critical in administering medications, monitoring patient conditions, and following physician instructions. When nurses fail to recognize signs of distress, improperly administer treatments, or neglect patients, their negligence can result in fatal consequences.
Hospitals, urgent care centers, and healthcare institutions can be held responsible for inadequate staffing, poor facility maintenance, lack of proper medical equipment, or failure to enforce safety protocols. If systemic failures within a hospital contribute to a wrongful death, the institution itself may be liable.
Anesthesia errors can have catastrophic consequences, including oxygen deprivation, cardiac arrest, or overdose. If an anesthesiologist administers the wrong dosage, fails to monitor the patient’s vital signs, or ignores known allergies, they can be held accountable.
Pharmacists are responsible for dispensing the correct medication and dosages. If a pharmacist fills the wrong prescription or provides incorrect dosage instructions that lead to a patient’s death, they may be liable. Pharmaceutical companies can sometimes be held accountable for distributing defective or dangerous drugs without proper warnings.
Failing to correctly interpret test results, such as X-rays, MRIs, and bloodwork, can result in misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of life-threatening conditions. Radiologists and technicians can be held responsible when errors in medical imaging lead to a patient’s death.
Hospitals and jails outsource healthcare services to private medical providers, including telemedicine services and on-site healthcare staffing agencies. If these third-party providers fail to offer timely and appropriate care, leading to a patient’s wrongful death, they can be held liable.
Elderly patients and residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are particularly vulnerable to medical negligence. Failing to provide proper medical care, neglecting severe health conditions, or allowing malnutrition and dehydration can lead to wrongful death, making the facility and staff responsible.
