Medical Malpractice

Recent studies have shown without reservation that medical malpractice is one of the leading causes of serious injury and death in the United States. According one finding, medical malpractice in this country causes up to 120,000 deaths every year, which makes it a leading cause of death due to preventable adverse events. Deaths from medical malpractice even exceed those attributable to motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, and AIDS combined.

These statistics do not include medical mistakes that leave hundreds of thousands of patients paralyzed, brain damaged, and otherwise catastrophically injured every year.

Common medical mistakes causing serious patient injury include the failure to diagnose and treat, and some common examples are: anesthesia complications, aneurysms, birth injuries, fetal distress, infections, sponges or foreign objects, or the removal of an incorrect limb/organ.

No matter how big or small you feel the negligence was, you should contact an attorney before it is too late. The statute of limitations for your claim could be close. Please call our offices as soon as you can so we can help you evaluate your case.
