Medical Malpractice leaves Thousands Injured every Year

Each and every year thousands of people are injured or die as a result of medical malpractice. A study conducted in 1990 by the Harvard School of Medicine estimated that some 3% of patients treated in New York State Hospitals suffered as a result of some kind of medical mistake which resulted in a serous injury.

Public Citizen, the non-profit consumer advocacy organization, estimates that each year 1.3 million injuries are caused by professional negligence, and that more than two thirds of such injuries are preventable.

Many attorneys successfully represent victims of medical malpractice, dental malpractice, hospital negligence and nursing home abuse. However, there are strict statutes of limitations and other rules that vary from state-to-state. In many states, the statute of limitations is a maximum of two years from the date of the incident which resulted in injury or death. So timely filing of a lawsuit is of critical importance in matters of malpractice.
