Medical Malpractice is Unacceptable, Because It Causes Unnecessary Pain and Suffering
Medical malpractice refers to the failure of medical personnel to provide the required standard of care associated with a particular treatment, procedure or diagnosis. This often results in personal injuries, disability or even death to the patient. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than 225,000 people die from medical conditions caused by physicians, hospitals, medications or improper medical procedures each year. Of these deaths, approximately 12,000 are from unnecessary surgery, 7,000 are due to medication errors and 20,000 are from other hospital errors.
These statistics are alarming to say the least. Common medical malpractice claims include the following:
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to conduct the appropriate medical tests
- Medication and pharmacy errors
- Failure to diagnose cancer, impending heart attacks and other common diseases
- Birth injuries
- Spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries resulting from a physician’s negligence
- Nursing home negligence and abuse
- Wrongful death claims
If you have been injured as a result of your physician’s negligence contact us.
