Podiatric malpractice occurs when a podiatrist, a medical professional specializing in foot and ankle care, fails to provide the standard of care expected, resulting in harm to a patient. This can arise from a variety of errors, including misdiagnosis, incorrect treatment, or surgical complications.
Client’s case
A teenager underwent bunion and hammertoe surgery. It was contended that the podiatrist failed to recommend conservative and non-invasive alternatives before operating. It was also claimed the operation was performed without the patient’s informed consent. The podiatrist contended that the operation performed was necessary and was consistent with good and acceptable care. A Rockland Jury disagreed.
