One of the most common forms of malpractice is surgical error. For example, if a surgeon operates on the wrong part of the body or leaves an instrument behind, that constitutes medical malpractice. Other examples include the following:
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis

- Medication errors
Is medical malpractice common?
Unfortunately, yes. Medical malpractice occurs in every hospital across America. It is estimated that 98,000 people die each year as a result of malpractice.
How long do I have to file a New Jersey malpractice suit?
New Jersey law regulates the deadline for filing medical malpractice suits. Calculation of the time limit for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit is complex and requires the assistance of experienced legal counsel. Some medical malpractice cases require that a Notice of Claim be filed within 90 days, while others relax the normal two year limit for filing suits. Although most cases require that a malpractice lawsuit be filed within two years, there are cases in which the time to file a claim is much shorter and there are cases in which the time to file a claim is more than two years. Such a determination requires experienced legal guidance.
