Colorado Medical Malpractice Attorney - Information

Medical malpractice is negligence committed by a professional health care provider—a doctor, nurse, dentist, dental office or staff, pathologist, neurologist, oncologist, cardiologist, toxicologist, pharmacologist, technician, nursing home or staff, hospital or hospital worker—whose performance of duties deviates from a standard of practice of those with similar training and experience, resulting in harm to a patient or patients.

Examples of medical negligence can include:

            • failure to diagnose an illness
            • failure to prevent surgical infection
            • leaving a medical utensil implanted after surgery
            • surgery without informed consent
            • certain birth injuries and cerebral palsy
            • failure to diagnose breast cancer
            • mis-diagnosis
            • improper prescription of drugs
            • anesthesia errors and mistakes

Proof of negligence is required to win damages in medical malpractice cases. Damages may be economic (lost wages, medical expenses), non-economic (pain and suffering) or punitive (punishment for reckless or malicious behavior). Damages may also include compensation for future monies such as medical care and loss of earnings.
