- Failing to treat a client properly
- Making mistakes during surgery
- Causing injuries during the birth of a child
- Neglecting a client in the emergency room
- Administering the wrong medications

Essentially, the most common types of medical malpractice center around failing to diagnose a patient accurately, failing to treat a patient properly or making a mistake during the treatment of a patient that directly results in further injury, illness or damage to the patient.
