Medical Malpractice

Thousands of people are injured every year during medical treatment. Most of the damage is inevitable and is a result of the underlying medical condition prior to treatment. 

Experts estimate that approximately 10,000 people in Israel have died as a result of complications from medical treatment that could have been prevented!

Medical malpractice is defined as"providing or failing to provide medical services while deviating from the reasonable level of caution, where such deviation has caused actual harm to the patient." In other words, in the framework of a medical malpractice lawsuit, the court will examine whether the medical cause acted as a reasonable and sensible professional would in those circumstances.

There are many reasons for medical malpractice cases. It should be noted that most cases of negligence are caused not as a result of poor medical competence of the individual physician but as a result of poor conduct of the medical system, or a lack of communication between the treating parties, or a lack of communication between the doctor and the patient.

Medicine is currently characterized by specialization and the patient is treated by a number of factors. The patient is often treated by a number of factors other than the attending physician or the consulting specialist. For example, it is now common to make a diagnosis relying on consultations with specialists and on auxiliary tests such as laboratory tests, imaging tests (MRI, CT). The patient is juggling a lot of caregiving factors and it is enough to have a malfunction in one of the vertebrae to create a miscommunication between the caregivers to cause damage.

Another common reason is when doctors act contrary to professional guidelines, do not consult and exceed the limits of their knowledge. Above all, the main cause of the suspicion that the damage was caused by medical negligence is poor communication between the therapist and the patient as to the causes of the damage.
