Many Tennessee residents are unaware of the different types of medical malpractice. Medication errors are one of the most common types of medical malpractice. Medication errors can occur if a physician prescribes the wrong drug or if a pharmacist dispenses the wrong medication. Nurses can also make medication errors if they give the patient too much or too little of a drug. Medication errors have the ability to cause severe injuries and sometimes can lead to wrongful death.

Another type of medical malpractice is surgical errors.  Surgical errors can occur from anesthesia errors, doctors operating on the wrong body part, the use of unsterilized equipment or if a tech leaves surgical tools in the body.

Tennessee patients that have been misdiagnosed by a negligent physician, nurse practitioner, or healthcare professional may also be eligible to file a medical malpractice claim.

Individuals that have been injured or become ill after receiving inadequate care may be entitled to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages. There is a statue of limitations for individuals to file a Tennessee medical malpractice lawsuit. It’s important for injured patients to discuss their legal options with a skilled medical malpractice lawyer. Greg Coleman Law offers free case evaluations to medical malpractice victims.
