Podiatry Malpractice Lawyers

Podiatry MalpracticePodiatrists are doctors of podiatric medicine (DPM), they treat conditions associated with the foot, ankle and leg. While podiatrists do not attend medical school and are not considered to be medical doctors, they are still licensed, and in most states must complete a residency program. They are also subject to similar laws governing medical and hospital malpractice. 

Unlike doctors who typically conduct procedures and surgeries within the confines of a hospital or surgical center, podiatrists often do surgeries within their own offices, which raises the risk for malpractice to occur. Examples of podiatry malpractice can include but are not limited to:

  • Improper diagnosis
  • Failure to properly sterilize the field
  • Surgical errors
  • Tendon, nerve, or muscle damage
