Each year in the United States, approximately 80,000 deaths and countless injuries are caused by medical malpractice. Sadly enough, statistics show that only one in eight victims of medical malpractice take any legal action at all. Medical malpractice is defined as a negligent act or omission by a health care provider that deviates from the standard of care of those with similar experience and training, resulting in damage or harm to a patient. Medical malpractice can be committed by all types of medical professionals, including doctors, dentists, dental office staff, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacologists, technicians, hospital staff and nursing home workers. The most common types of medical malpractice include:
Victims of medical malpractice and their family can be compensated for pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of income and disability, loss of a loved one and long-term care.
