Pediatricians must be extremely thorough, as examination and tests are often the only clear indicators of a child’s illness. Disease is particularly devastating to a small child whose immune system and ability to fight off infection is not as strong as that of an adult. Mistakes made by a pediatrician can impact a child for the remainder of his/her life and can be life changing for the entire family. The illness or loss of a child to illness can ravage a family, especially if the unfavorable outcome of the disease was caused by the doctor failing to conduct exhaustive testing.

Medication errors are sometimes made regarding a child, and the damage can be very extensive. This is because children have faster metabolisms than adults, which means even a small amount of the wrong drug can cause serious harm and even fatality. Additionally, children may not be able to communicate the type or severity of their negative reaction to a drug. Lastly, most drugs do not have dosing information for children, so pediatricians must take extreme care when prescribing a drug to a child that, in the wrong dosage, could be dangerous.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

The range of issues that can arise from pediatric error is vast, and even a small mistake can be extensively damaging to a child. When this error was made due to a healthcare provider’s negligence, he/she should be held responsible for injury to the child through a medical malpractice suit. During this, a family may recover compensation for treatment, which may be lifelong, other financial losses and pain and suffering incurred by the child and the family.[/vc_column_text][us_separator type=”invisible” icon=”fa-star”][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]If a loved one of yours is the victim of pediatric medical malpractice, please contact our office and speak with a member of the firm.
