We Hold Providers Accountable For Injury Or Death From Medical Negligence

Recent comprehensive studies estimate that hundreds of thousands of people are injured and die each year due to mistakes made by doctors and hospital staff. Medical errors are now the third leading cause of death in the U.S. after heart disease and cancer. Unfortunately, this 2016 statistic does not include deaths occurring outside of hospitals – in outpatient clinics, nursing homes and other settings where health care workers might be caring for those in need.

When the outcome of surgical procedures or other treatments does not have the expected result or if unexplained complications from an illness arise, patients will often wonder why. Doctors and hospitals must practice competently, and according to generally accepted standards. How is a patient or their family to know if those standards have been followed? The aftermath of the injuries from medical malpractice can be devastating.
