Medical Malpractice

Compassionate, Effective Indiana Medical Malpractice Attorney

Between 44,000 and 98,000 hospitalized Americans die each year as a result of preventable medical errors, according to a study by the Institute of Medicine, an affiliate of the National Academy of Sciences. A study by HealthGrades Inc. puts the number at 195,000 deaths per year. The higher number would make preventable medical errors the sixth leading cause of death in this country, ahead of diabetes, pneumonia, Alzheimer’s disease, and renal disease.

Yet only about 10 percent of these cases result in claims of medical negligence.

failure to diagnose
medical misdiagnosis
delay in diagnosis
improper medication
reactions to medications
contradictory medications
multiple orders
surgical errors and post-surgical infections
emergency room errors
birth injuries
wrongful death due to hospital malpractice

Many medical errors result from a failure to diagnose a condition or from a misdiagnosis. If your condition is breast cancer, brain caner, or meningitis, for instance, a failure to diagnose the condition accurately can be deadly.
