Medical Malpractice

Most medical procedures are performed successfully, improving the lives of patients across the nation. However, when errors occur in the field of medicine, they can have devastating and life-changing consequences. At the core of every medical malpractice case is one critical issue: negligence by a medical professional.

The scope of medical errors is alarming. According to analysis published in the BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal), medical errors claim the lives of 251,000 Americans annually. This places medical errors as the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer—ranking higher than collisions, strokes, and Alzheimer’s. These errors stem from breakdowns in hospital systems and communication, medical staff errors, medication mistakes, and more.

Common examples of medical malpractice include wrong-site surgery, retained foreign objects, misdiagnosis, failure to recognize and treat complications, surgical errors, birth injuries, anesthesia mistakes, and incorrect administration of prescriptions. These errors can lead to serious harm, leaving patients and their families searching for answers and accountability.
