When medical personnel fails to treat the condition, the result is a breach of trust. Failure to treat can lead to delaying lifesaving treatment, further suffering, or even death for a patient. If a medical practitioner has failed to treat a condition for you or your loved one, you may be entitled to compensation.

A medical professional’s failure to treat a serious condition can touch a patient’s life in many ways, from mental and physical pain to death in some cases. Failure to treat can also become a financial burden through lost wages and increased medical expenses as the patient continues to search for solutions for the medical condition.
Failure to treat hinges on proving the provider’s negligence; the negligence can either be very specific or it can be more general. Some failure to treat examples include:
A medical practitioner may commit malpractice without malicious intent. A lawsuit does not imply that the healthcare provider meant to harm you or your loved one, rather than the quality of care received was not following the standards of care recognized by the law and substandard care caused direct damage to the patient — usually in the form of physical or mental pain or lost wages or work capacity.
Many failure to treat cases stem from human error, which includes confirmation biases or giving preference to one symptom at the dismissal of other symptoms, leading to a medical professional failing to treat the condition.
If any of these failure to treat examples apply to your situation or you have otherwise been neglected or dismissed by a medical professional, schedule a free consultation with our experienced Washington, DC accident lawyers.

Standard of care is a legal term, not a medical term, and one that encompasses the skill and care the average provider has while accounting for available knowledge in the field or specialty. The standard of care is “typically based on the hypothetical practices of a reasonably competent health care professional in the same or similar community.”
While ordinary negligence hinges on reasonableness, medical malpractice considers customary practices of similar providers. Receiving care you are unhappy with isn’t grounds for a malpractice suit, but if the average competent medical care provider would have provided different care for your condition leading to better results you may be entitled to compensation.
The party or parties responsible for malpractice can vary from case to case, but any medical personnel acting in an official capacity can be responsible for their own negligence if that care has directly damaged the patient. The provider could be a doctor, nurse, anesthesiologist, or surgeon. In some cases, hospitals can be held responsible for allowing unqualified professionals to provide care or for failing to maintain adequate staffing levels to ensure quality care.
