Medical Malpractice.
Recognizing Malpractice
Each year, approximately 225,000 people die in the United
States because of medical malpractice, including
sub-standard care, negligence, and patient abandonment.
Hospital and Surgical Care
While only 2% of medical malpractice victims seek legal
action, it is believed that as many as 98,000 people die in
hospitals each year because of medical error or
negligence.
The Cost of Medical Malpractice
Medical health providers in the U.S. will pay as much as
$7 billion this year for malpractice liability. For victims,
the cumulative cost will be 4 times greater, at
approximately $28 billion.

Misdiagnosing Patient Illnesses
Injuries at Child Birth
State Malpractice Laws
When determining whether or not you have been the victim
of medical malpractice by your physician, hospital or other
health care provider, you should be fully aware of not only
your rights but also your state's laws – including
statutes of limitations and maximum damage awards – as
they may vary from other states.
Knowing Your Patient Rights
If you have been treated by a physician, hospital or
medical care center and feel that you have suffered
additional injuries or illnesses as the result of negligence
or misdiagnosis, you have the right to discuss your
situation with an attorney. By not saying something, you
could be doing yourself more harm.
