If you have been injured because of a chiropractor’s negligence, you may be able to sue the chiropractor for medical malpractice under specific circumstances. 

Any medical professional who is negligent and causes injuries to an individual can be held accountable for their actions in a medical malpractice claim. You must be able to prove that the standard of care owed to you as a patient was breached and as a result you were injured. If a chiropractor failed to demonstrate an action or committed an act of negligence that led to your injuries, you may be able to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against them. 

The most commonly experienced injuries that can be sustained from a chiropractor’s negligence include: 

  • back injuries;
  • neck injuries;
  • herniated disk;
  • broken ribs; and
  • neurological injuries.  

A chiropractor’s mistake or negligence can result in life-long injury or permanent disability. In extreme cases, a chiropractor’s mistake may even result in stroke or patient death. 

In addition to the consideration of medical malpractice, chiropractors can be sued for professional negligence. Actions that may fall under professional negligence include: 

  • Battery;
  • Fraud;
  • Breach of contract;
  • Willful misconduct; and
  • Misrepresentation of abilities and skills. 

A medical malpractice lawyer can examine the facts surrounding your case and determine if you have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit stemming from a chiropractor’s mistake.
