What Are Injuries That Can Be the Result of Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice can cause patients to suffer catastrophic injuries, meaning injuries that result in permanent disability or death. For instance, a doctor’s failure to diagnose cancer may result in the cancer spreading and causing significant harm to the patient before they discover the misdiagnosis. A patient may also suffer emotional harm from the experience, and their loved ones may suffer from losing their care, affection, and support.
