  • Failure to provide timely treatment
  • Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosing a condition or illness
  • Prescribing or administering the wrong medication
  • Failure to follow routine procedures or protocols
  • Anesthesia or surgical errors, including administering improper levels of anesthetic or performing surgery on the wrong site
  • Birth injuries
  • Emergency room errors
  • Injuries from orthopedic devices

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
