Medical Malpractice: An Epidemic

Every year in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of individuals suffer at the hands of negligent doctors, nurses, pharmacy and lab technicians, and other healthcare professionals. The statistics are so alarming that the Institute of Medicine referred to medical malpractice as an “epidemic.” According to a report released by the IOM in 1999, up to 98,000 people die every year because of medical errors.

 

Medical Malpractice Law Firms Help Victims

There are laws designed specifically to protect individuals who have been wrongfully harmed. Medical malpractice law firms use these laws to help victims seek justice, and seeking justice involves:

Holding the negligent party(s) responsible – negligent parties in malpractice cases often include doctors, nurses, hospitals, and medical groups.

Obtaining compensation for the losses suffered by the victim – compensating victims is part of our legal system of checks and balances. The compensation is intended as a remedy for the injured individual and also as a deterrent for those who acted negligently.

 

Specifically, medical malpractice law firms can help victims of negligence obtain compensation for losses such as:

 

• Medical expenses – past and future
  
• Lost wages
  
• Loss of earning capacity or disability
  
• Pain and suffering
  
• Loss of companionship or support (in cases involving the death of a family member)
  
• Mental anguish

 

Individuals who are eligible to seek compensation must do so within a certain period of time – usually two to three years from the time the negligence occurred. The law that states the time limit is known as a statute of limitations, and each state has its own statutes. The best way to protect your legal rights if you think you have a case is to contact a medical malpractice law firm.
