Hospital Error
Hospital error can result in patient illness, injury and even death. Medical professionals have a duty to provide a standard of care which prevents patient injury. It is estimated that medical errors kill 5,000 to 15,000 patients each year in the United States. However, there is not a consensus among doctors what constitutes a deadly error.
If you have been injured or fallen ill because of a professional's negligence this could be considered medical malpractice. The United States civil tort system allows a victim of medical malpractice to receive compensation for their losses by filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against the party or hospital responsible for the injury. If you have questions regarding your illness or injury contact a personal injury attorney familiar with medical malpractice law to review your medical malpractice claim.
