Medical Malpractice

* It is estimated that as many as 100,000 U.S. citizens are killed every year in hospitals alone as a result of preventable mistakes and medical errors by doctors and healthcare professionals.

* According to a recent study from the National Institute of Medicine, each year more people die from medical errors than from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS.

The term "medical malpractice" describes negligent treatment, lack of treatment, or a departure from the accepted standards of medical care, that causes harm to a patient, often resulting in serious or catastrophic injuries. Areas that fall under this category include (but are not limited to):

* Misdiagnosis
* Improper / substandard treatment
* Failure to treat
* Delay in treatment
* Failure to follow up
* Prescription errors

Occurrences of medical malpractice may not be obvious to the average person. Accurate identification of medical departures requires a review and analysis by attorneys who are familiar with medicine along with the appropriate medical experts.

Since the laws regarding these types of cases can be very complex, it is extremely important to seek the advice of an experienced medical malpractice lawyer who will protect your rights and those of your loved ones.
