Medical Malpractice
Esta Larry H. Parker página web es disponible en español
When someone is injured by careless or intentional acts of any
healthcare provider they may pursue a medical malpractice claim
and/or a medical malpractice lawsuit. You will need an experienced
medical malpractice lawyer to handle your claim.
Medical malpractice claims can arise from injuries caused by a
doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist,
hospital, or outpatient clinic. Examples of medical malpractice
injuries include a wrong or missing diagnosis, treating you for the
wrong disease, not treating you soon enough, surgical injuries,
anethesia errors leading to brain damage or worse, prescribing the
wrong drug or wrong dosage.
How bad is the medical malpractice situation in America today? The
National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine estimates that
44,000 to 98,000 Americans die each year from preventable medical
errors. Medical malpractice kills more people each year than died in
traffic accidents in 2003 according to statistics from the National
Traffic Safety Administration. Medical malpractice and medical errors
are the 8th cause of death in the United States, more deadly than
breast cancer or AIDS.
If this doesn't convince you, consider what happened to "Saturday
Night Live" star Dana Carvey. He went in for a double bypass to save
his life only to find out two months later that the cardiac surgeon
had bypassed the wrong arteries. The doctor called it "an honest
mistake", but Dana Carvey had a different opinion as he told People
Magazine, "It's like removing the wrong kidney. It's that big a
mistake."
