  • What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice is professional negligence by a health care provider that causes injury or death to a patient.

It can occur in any setting, including hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. There are many different types of medical malpractice, but some of the most common include:

● Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
● Birth injuries
● Surgical errors
● Anesthesia errors
● Prescription drug errors

These are just a few examples – if you have been injured due to any type of health care provider negligence, you may have a claim for medical malpractice.

  • What Is the Difference Between Medical Negligence and Malpractice?

Medical negligence is a failure to provide the standard of care that a reasonably prudent health care provider would have provided under the circumstances.

However, not all instances of medical negligence give rise to a claim for medical malpractice.

To be successful in a medical malpractice case, you must prove that the health care provider's negligence caused you to suffer actual harm.

If you can do that, you may be able to recover damages for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.

  • The Elements of a Medical Malpractice Claim

A successful medical malpractice claim must include all of the following elements:

  • A duty owed to the patient by the health care provider
  • A breach of that duty by the health care provider
  • Actual harm suffered by the patient as a result of the breach
  • Proof that the harm was caused by the breach (causation)

  • What Is the Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims in Las Vegas?

The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit.

In Las Vegas, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is two years and six months (30 months) from the date of the injury.

There are some exceptions to this rule, so it is important to speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Milan’s Legal to ensure your claim is filed promptly.

  • What Is the Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims In Las Vegas

Nevada's statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is one year from the date the patient discovered, or should have discovered the injury, or three years from the date the health care provider inflicted the injury, whichever is sooner.

It is important to speak with a medical malpractice attorney at Milan’s Legal to ensure that your claim is filed in a timely manner.

  • Damages in Medical Malpractice Cases

If you are successful in your medical malpractice case, you may be awarded damages for your injuries.

These can include:

  • Past and future medical expenses: You can recover the cost of all medical treatment related to your injuries, including hospitalization, surgery, doctor's visits, medication, and more.
  • Lost income: If you have been unable to work because of your injuries, you can recover your lost wages as well as any future lost earnings.
  • Pain and suffering: You can get financial compensation for the physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by your injuries.
  • Permanent injury: If you have suffered a permanent injury, you may be able to recover damages for the loss of enjoyment of life, disability, and more.
  • Punitive damages: In some cases, punitive damages may also be available. These are designed to punish the health care provider for particularly egregious behavior and are awarded in addition to any other damages.
