Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs more frequently in the United States than most people would like to believe. The Institute of Medicine estimates that 99,000 deaths per year occur in hospitals from medical malpractice. Hundreds of thousands of additional injuries occur yearly from other medical mistakes, resulting in tremendous pain and suffering to the victims and billions of dollars in costs to American taxpayers.
Medical malpractice occurs from medication errors (wrong medication, wrong amount, wrong patient), wrong site surgery, retained objects from surgery, missed diagnoses, improper treatment, missed treatments, avoidable infections, in-house acquired pressure ulcers (bed sores), and a host of other medical mistakes. Proving that medical malpractice has occurred in a given case requires a thorough understanding on the part of the lawyer of complex medical issues and an ability to bring the expertise of the country’s finest medical experts to bear in behalf of the client’s cause. Our lawyers have reviewed thousands of medical records in the course of their practice and have worked with a number of the country’s finest medical experts in presenting their clients’ cases to juries around the United States.
Our lawyers have also been asked to lecture to lawyers and healthcare professionals alike about matters involving medical malpractice. They have addressed audiences in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington DC, Nashville, Lexington, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Tallahassee.
