Monday, August 1st, 2011

Every doctor-patient relationship is built on trust. Even though you trust your physician, incidents and mistakes may happen.

If you suffered an injury due to a medical mistake or surgical error, you may be able file a medical malpractice lawsuit against your health care provider to recover damages. Arizona medical malpractice attorney Jerrold Mayro can help you establish and file your lawsuit.

There are classifications of medical injuries that involve a malpractice lawsuit. Broadly, these can be categorized as acts of commission and acts of omission. Acts of commission include such situations as surgical errors and prescribing the wrong medication

Acts of omission might be instances where the doctor or specialist fails altogether to discover what is wrong and treat it properly or in time. This type might include:

• Failure to diagnose a heart disease
• Failure to diagnose cancer

Unfortunately, these types of injury are often more dangerous as they might lead to a delay in providing life saving treatment.
