Understanding Medical Malpractice
Every year, medical malpractice takes the lives of around 98,000 people in the United States alone. We are constantly placing our health and wellbeing in the hands of physicians, nurses, and other hospital employees. Although the vast majority of medical professionals have earned that trust through rigorous schooling and training, medical mistakes and negligence still occur.
Some of the more common types of medical malpractice include:
While suing a doctor or hospital for trivial reasons should not be encouraged, medical malpractice cases with merit are a key way of protecting patients’ rights, improving healthcare policies, and preserving the overall integrity of the medical profession. If a healthcare professional has compromised a patient’s health through medical negligence or error, they should be held accountable – especially when such mistakes result in costly treatment, and often leave patients facing a lifetime of consequences.
Medical malpractice cases can be extremely complex, demanding medical, legal, and scientific knowledge that carefully links evidence and testimonies together to build the strongest case possible. Consulting with an experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you determine whether or not you have a case. Medical malpractice lawyers have access to experts in the medical field who help investigate each claim and develop the body of evidence necessary to prove that a medical professional is guilty of neglect or error.
