Each month in 2026, our Malpractice Risk Review will focus on a different medical specialty, providing targeted insights from malpractice claims to support patient safety and risk management efforts.

Understanding malpractice risk in pediatrics requires examining both how patient harm occurs and why negligence allegations arise. This Malpractice Risk Review brings together three in-depth analyses:

  • Contributing factors to patient harm: Identifies common drivers of pediatric malpractice claims, including issues with clinical judgment, communication, and patient adherence.
  • Negligence allegations: Analyzes negligence allegations in pediatrics to help clinicians and staff proactively identify and address risk.
  • Case summary for failure to diagnose brain infection: Reviews the failure to timely diagnose and treat a brain infection that led to serious and permanent patient harm.
