MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE
Medical negligence is estimated to cause nearly 100-thousand Americans to die – every year. They die from preventable medical errors.
Countless other patients sustain serious personal injury as a result of mistakes that occur during surgery, from a wrong or missed diagnosis, or from a prescription drug or medication error.
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement estimates there are 15 million incidents of medical harm inflicted each year. Wrong limbs are removed, tests that prove serious illness are ignored, injury or death is sustained at birth, or patients die from negligence in nursing homes or care facilities.
Instead of admitting accountability, medical professionals, hospitals and nursing homes ignore the harm they have caused. Insurance companies defend them.
When you or a family member is hurt or dies as a result of medical negligence, seek advice from an experienced law firm. Medical negligence cases are often complex. Investigative review is necessary to assess accountability. Though cases are may be settled or resolved (see verdicts and settlements), insurance companies increasingly choose to litigate. Choose a law group well-respected for their courtroom strength.
