Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable

Sometimes, doctors, nurses, or other medical providers make preventable mistakes, and a patient is injured or dies. A disease was misdiagnosed, lab results were misread, or a surgery or other procedure went poorly. The patient was neglected, and complaints were ignored. Healthcare providers must follow fundamental standards of care in alignment with what competent medical professionals would do under similar circumstances. If they don’t, and a patient suffers an injury or dies, then those providers should be held accountable.

Birth Injury

Determining the exact number of birth injuries that occur every year due to medical negligence can be challenging due to factors such as the variability in how birth injuries are reported across different hospitals and states, underreporting, variations in how “medical negligence” is defined, settlements involving confidentiality agreements and other intricacies.

Defective Medical Devices

Medical devices can save your life or improve its quality, but they can also cause illness, pain, injury, and even death when they’re defective.

Hospital Negligence

Hospitals are accountable for the safety and well-being of their patients. If someone is harmed because a hospital didn’t provide the standard of care that is expected, then hospital negligence may have occurred.

Medical Negligence

Medical negligence is an act of omission or commission by a healthcare provider that deviates from the accepted standards of practice.

Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis of a patient’s condition can have serious repercussions. When a patient is harmed because of a healthcare professional’s misdiagnosis, negligence can become medical malpractice.

Pharmaceutical Injuries

Every year, more than 1.5 million Americans suffer illness, injury, or death due to errors in prescribing, dispensing, or taking medication, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. These people deserve compensation for the harm they have suffered using drugs developed by pharmaceutical companies and prescribed by physicians.

Surgical Errors

In the sphere of negligence and medical malpractice, surgical errors are considered preventable mistakes that were made during a surgery and caused the patient harm. These errors can have devastating results causing long term or permanent disability and fatalities.
