Medical Malpractice
While many people in the United States are fortunate to have some of the best doctors and healthcare facilities in the world, the unfortunate reality is that everyone, including healthcare providers and the staff at healthcare facilities, make mistakes. If you think or know that you or someone you care about has been a victim of medical malpractice, statistically, there is a good chance that you are right. Estimates from the Institute of Medicine indicate that there are anywhere from 44,000 – 98,000 deaths per year and up to one million injuries as a result of medical malpractice in the United States.
If you or someone you care about is one of the many unfortunate medical malpractice victims in Maryland, now may be a good time to contact attorneys who are experienced with successfully defending the rights of Maryland medical malpractice victims.
Death from Medical Malpractice
A report in the American Medical Association’s journal indicates that Institute of Medicine’s estimates are significantly lower than what the reality is and they report that the number of deaths per year is closer to approximately 284,000.
The following are common reasons why people die from medical malpractice that could have easily been prevented were it not for the negligence of one or more person:
- Negative effects of medications
- Infections that start while a patient is in the hospital
- Non-medical errors in hospitals
- Medical errors and mistakes
- Unnecessary surgery
It is horribly wrong when someone loses their life or becomes seriously injured or ill because of a healthcare or hospital’s negligence.
