Hospital medical errors are now believed to be the third leading cause of death in the U.S., causing as many as 400,000 deaths each year. Remember, this number does not include fatal medical errors in non-hospital care. If you have been harmed by medical error or lost a loved one because of medical negligence, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. Medical malpractice claims are very challenging, partly due to the fact that medical malpractice laws are not favorable toward victims.

Examples of Medical Mistakes

Some common examples of medical mistakes include:

• Medication error
• Failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, and delayed diagnosis
• Surgical mistakes
• Anesthesia error
• Birth injuries
• Emergency room malpractice, including patient dumping
• Nosocomial illnesses

That is why you need experienced medical malpractice attorneys to fight for you. We can evaluate your claim and, if it has potential, we will fight to ensure you receive full compensation.
