What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when medical care deviates from accepted medical standards and procedures and causes injury or death. Typically, accusations revolve around the failure to care for a patient at the degree that would be expected by another patient in the same conditions. These cases are complex with tons of paperwork and are aggressively defended by insurance companies.

Pennsylvania medical malpractice lawyers recognize that when doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers fail to meet professional standards, patients suffer serious consequences. Medical errors may create additional medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, permanent disabilities, and emotional trauma.

Under Pennsylvania law, a medical malpractice lawsuit may be filed by the injured patient or, in cases involving wrongful death, by surviving family members including the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased. If the patient is a minor or incapacitated, a legal guardian or representative may bring the claim. These lawsuits must comply with Pennsylvania’s Certificate of Merit requirement, which requires an expert medical professional to certify that the case has merit before proceeding.

Our Philadelphia trial lawyers work with medical experts to establish liability and demonstrate the full impact of medical negligence.

Generally, Pennsylvania law specifies that medical malpractice claims must be filed within two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. Some cases involve delayed discovery of malpractice, situations where the full extent of harm was not immediately apparent, or circumstances where the healthcare provider concealed their negligence. In these situations, the statute of limitations may be impacted by when you discovered that malpractice occurred.

Additional factors can also influence the filing deadline, including whether the claim involves a minor patient, a government hospital, or foreign objects left in the body during surgery. Claims involving minors may have extended deadlines, as well as cases against government-operated facilities may require special notice and shorter timeframes. Pennsylvania also has a statute of repose that generally bars claims filed more than seven years after the malpractice occurred.

If your injury resulted from a deviation from accepted medical standards, you may have a valid claim. An attorney review is the best first step since each patient’s experience is different.
