According to projections based on a 2010 report from the Department of Health and Human Services, infections, surgical mistakes, and other medical injuries contribute to the deaths of 180,000 hospital patients each year. Another 1.4 million are seriously injured by their hospital care. Alarmingly, these figures only apply to Medicare patients. What happens to other patients is less clear because most hospital errors go unreported.
Medical negligence has become one of the leading causes of death in the United States. If a loved one was a victim of malpractice and died as a result, you deserve proper compensation for your emotional pain and suffering. While the results of a medical malpractice lawsuit will not bring back your loved one, it can help you better manage the effects of their passing. Contacting a malpractice lawyer can help you determine if you have grounds for a medical malpractice case. We can also help you if you were a victim of substandard medical care that resulted in an injury or illness.
