Pediatrician Medical Malpractice

Pediatricians are highly educated doctors of medicine (M.D.) or doctors of osteopathy (D.O.)  Not only must they complete the rigorous studies of medical school, but they must also complete a residency training program after medical school, and most are required to be board certified in pediatric medicine.

Even these highly educated doctors still make mistakes. When they do, the health of your child is put at risk. When these mistakes lead to harm to your child, the financial and emotional toll it takes can be extreme. If that is the case, you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit to win the compensation you deserve.

Common Malpractice Claims Against Pediatricians

Common claims for medical malpractice against Pediatricians include, but are not limited to:

• Appendicitis: Failure to diagnose appendicitis is one of the most common missed diagnoses by Pediatricians. If an appendix were to burst, the resulting infection can be life-threatening and may result in the child patient’s untimely death.
• Physical Mistreatment: If a doctor abuses a child in medical treatment, drops a small child, or otherwise causes physical harm, he or she can be held responsible for the injuries your child suffered.
• Meningitis Misdiagnosis: Meningitis is one of the most common diseases associated with Pediatrician medical malpractice. Meningitis symptoms, if misread, will not result in early treatment, as is necessary to prevent serious harm to the patient.

Children who are harmed by the malpractice of Pediatricians, and their parents, are entitled to receive financial compensation for the injuries suffered.
