Learn about Medical Negligence Compensation

Medical Malpractice

Preventable errors due to medical negligence are responsible for as many as 98,000 deaths in the United States each year, and this is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer unnecessary injuries. Seeking compenation is the legal right of medical negligence victims (and in some cases their families) for the losses endured.

Medical negligence victims are represented by attorneys at our law firm and we strive to obtain a compensation that is fair for each client. If you believe you have a case, speak with our attorneys and we will evaluate your claim at no charge.

Medical Negligence Compensation: Myth vs. Fact

In addition, a 2006 Harvard study showed that the significant majority – 97 percent – of medical malpractice lawsuits filed are based on legitimate claims of injury and death. This is because medical negligence claims are very complex and costly to litigate. Consequently, most attorneys will not represent a client unless the claim for medical negligence compensation is valid.

Compensation May Be Your Legal Right

When individuals suffer unnecessary harm due to medical negligence, they may not be able to regain what they have lost physically or emotionally. However, victims may be able to recover that they financially lost.

If you have suffered injury because of medical negligence, compensation may be your legal right. And you should exercise this right for a couple of reasons:

  • To compel those who caused you injury to accept responsibility for their negligence
  • To help deter future acts of negligence
  • To ensure you receive a remedy for your losses, even if money will never be able to repair the harm that has been done

Do You Have a Valid Medical Negligence Compensation Claim?

If you have suffered any of the following, you should talk to an attorney to determine if you have a valid medical negligence compensation claim:

  • Misdiagnosis – Were you diagnosed with an illness you didn’t have, or did the doctor fail to diagnose you altogether?
  • Errors during surgery – After the procedure, the surgical instruments are left in the body? Did the surgeon make a mistake and amputate the wrong limb or remove the wrong organ?
  • Errors in Prescription – The wrong medication or dosage was given?
  • Delivery room error – Was your baby diagnosed with cerebral palsy or Erb’s palsy after a difficult or traumatic delivery?

There are other types of medical negligence, and it’s always best to seek legal counsel as soon as possible if you think you medical malpractice has occurred.
