When doctors prescribe drugs for their patients, the drugs are often intended to either treat sicknesses or relieve the pain of injuries. In most cases, doctors follow specific guidelines and medical expertise in prescribing these drugs. 

In some cases, however, doctors prescribe drugs that are part of an experimental program. These programs often require a patient's consent. If a doctor fails to obtain a patient's consent, then the patient may have a medical malpractice claim.

If you or anyone you know has unknowingly participated in a experimental drug program, contact the Washington medical malpractice attorneys of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.

When anesthesia is wrongly applied, the consequences for patients can be severe. Common results include comas, brain damage, or even death. 

To reduce the likelihood of anesthesia malpractice, anesthesiologists are required to undergo stringent training and carry a number of licenses. If an anesthesiologist does not meet the proper levels of compliance, then this could serve as a basis for an anesthesia malpractice case.

In most cases, doctors do not pay out of their own pockets when they lose medical malpractice cases. They avoid personal payment by carrying medical malpractice insurance. 

When they lose or settle a case, the medical malpractice insurance company will likely pay the damages or settlement amount. That amount will often vary by the extent, significance, and financial hardship of the victim.

Caps on medical malpractice claims have been the source of debate for many doctors and medical malpractice lawyers. In some states, the state legisltature has set caps on medical malpractice punitive damages to decrease the risk assumed by doctors and medical centers.

However, many such caps have been deemed unconstitutional by state supreme courts. As a result, many doctors are pushing the federal government to enact such caps. This issue has been one of the many sticking points for the recent health care debate.

Not all birth injuries are the result of medical malpractice. In some cases, the birth injury is due to the health of the mother. In other cases, the birth injury may be the result of the natural risks that are inherent in delivery.  

For a birth injury to be the result of medical malpractice, the injury must be the result of the delivering doctor's negligence. This means that the doctor did not follow procedure or act in a way that is reasonably expected of a doctor.
