Medical Malpractice
Every year, about 200,000 Americans die as a result of medical negligence or medical malpractice. Several hundred thousand others are seriously injured because of errors made by surgeons, doctors, nurses, chiropractors, podiatrists, and other health care providers in nursing homes, hospitals, and other medical and residential care facilities.
Although there are many kinds of medical malpractice cases, they can be divided into a number of categories:
- Surgical errors
- Delay in medical diagnosis
- Birth trauma or birth injury
- Leaving a foreign object (clamp, retractors) inside a patient's body during surgery
- Prescribing the wrong medicine
- Anesthesia errors
