Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice encompasses many areas but can be basically defined as the treatment or lack of treatment for a patient outside the accepted standard of medical care by a medical professional. The Institute of Medicine has found that between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths that occur in hospitals each year are the results of preventable errors.
Some of the most common areas of medical malpractice include:
• Misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Prescription errors
• Preventable infections
• Birth injuries
• Emergency room errors
• Nursing home neglect or abuse
• Dental malpractice
• Sexual misconduct from doctor to patient
Claims paid out for medical malpractice can include damages for pain and suffering, payments of medical expenses as well as past, present and future financial losses from the inability to work and provide for yourself or your family.
If you suspect you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, it’s important that you contact an attorney for advice on what the statues of limitations may be for your case, how to file a claim or how to deal with a claim that has been denied.
