You trust medical professionals such as doctors and nurses to provide you with expert care. You trust them to make the right decisions for your health and well-being. But what if they don’t?
In the case of medical malpractice, a medical professional may have made a mistake in diagnosis, treatment or care. This omission or negligence could be related to a one-time procedure such as surgery or could be related to ongoing care for a condition.
Medical malpractice is very common; a report by Forbes cited information from the Journal of the American Medical Association that medical malpractice is the third-leading cause of death in the United States, right behind heart disease and cancer. In 2012 alone, more than $3 billion was spent nationwide in medical malpractice lawsuit payouts. This averaged one payout every 43 minutes, Forbes further reported.
Victims of medical malpractice could have a medical diagnosis that was treated improperly, or they could have failed to receive proper diagnosis of a condition. Medical malpractice can also extend to include the actions of surgical staff, assistants and anesthetists.
