Medical Malpractice
In simple terms, medical malpractice is professional negligence that occurs when the acts or omissions of a medical provider—physician, dentist, nurse, medical therapist, hospital, clinic or other medical facility— fail to meet acceptable standards of care, resulting in injury to a patient.
When you seek help for a medical condition, you don’t expect the treatment to make you worse or create new problems, and you certainly don’t expect to die as the result of your health care. Yet studies report that every year in U.S. hospitals.
- 12,000 die as the result of unnecessary surgery.
- 7,000 die due to medication errors.
- about 2 million patients acquire infections, and 80,000 of them die
These numbers don’t include the thousands who are injured because of mistakes made in outpatient settings, such as medical offices, nursing homes, and clinics, or the 106,000 deaths each year that are attributed to the negative effects of drugs.
Shockingly, some analysts say that America's healthcare system is the third leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease and cancer. Others report that one out of every five dollars spent on health care in this country is spent on injuries sustained as the result of medical error.
While there are many medical scenarios and circumstances that could be the potential subject of a medical malpractice claim, the following are among those that typically top the list of litigation cases:
