Most of these injuries are medium, but about 15
percent of all of them are serious and
life-changing injuries. As a medical worker, it
is your job to protect yourself against this
lawsuit. You have to do everything you can to
prevent medical malpractice from happening.
If you need help preventing malpractice lawsuits,
here are some tips that will help you stay on the
right track and avoid potential lawsuits that
could ruin your life and your career.

Establish a Good Relationship With Your Patient
As a caregiver, your primary duty is to treat
injured patients. This means providing them with
the right care, antibiotics, meds and everything
else the patient needs to get better. You have to
establish a healthy and good relationship with
the patient right from the start. Make them feel
comfortable, and tell them that everything is
going to be okay. Patients love it when doctors
and nurses spend a few extra seconds talking with
them.

This gives the patient a feeling of being cared
for. Once you have a good relationship with your
patient, even if you make a mistake, your patient
may decide not to sue you because of everything
else you have done for him/her. However, if you
are being sued for medical malpractice or want to
sue someone for the same reason, you will need an
attorney to help defend your cause. If you do not
have an attorney in mind, reach out to

Always Be Prepared

• While taking care of your patients, be sure to
  always stay on guard. This means being prepared
  to act at any point if the situation gets worse.
  Always review the files from all of your patients
  and stay up to date on their current situation.
  That way, you will show both compassion and a
  certain level of consideration for your patients,
  which to them are really meaningful.

Follow The Procedures
The key to building a healthy patient-caregiver
relationship is showing interest in the patients
situation, and being extremely careful and
compassionate. From the moment your patient comes
in the hospital, you have to follow all the
procedures to ensure that your patient is taken
care of. The smallest infraction against any set
of rules or policies can cause devastating
effects in the patients treatment. These are
usually followed by a medical malpractice lawsuit.

To avoid getting sued, simply do everything as
you are taught to. Follow the procedures, and
start building your relationship with the patient
slowly and from scratch. Remember to always be
positive and show some interest in the patients
life, as that will help boost your
patient-caregiver relationship. Be a good
listener and try and encourage the patient to
rest as much as possible. Doing these things will
help you avoid lawsuits against medical
malpractice. Should you ever face one, for
whatever reason, a Medical Malpractice Attorney
in Philadelphia will gladly help you deal with it
from a legal standpoint.
