Medical, Dental, Legal Malpractice

Malpractice cases can involve doctors, dentists, pharmacists, or lawyers. Medical malpractice lawsuits can be filed against hospitals, doctors, surgeons, care givers or related healthcare staff whose services resulted in additional sickness, injury or death. Many malpractice lawsuits involve misdiagnosis, prescription errors, surgery mistakes, elder care negligence, or birth problems. Legal malpractice lawsuits can be filed when a lawyer or legal representation fails in the preparation, execution, or settlement of a client's case, resulting in additional legal consequences. These lawsuits are designed to hold professionals accountable while securing appropriate compensation for losses and suffering. Since a Statute of Limitations may apply to malpractice lawsuits, the victim or the victim's loved ones should file a complaint as soon as possible. [FREE MALPRACTICE CASE EVALUATION] 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. Nationally, the same study estimated that each year over 180,000 people die in scenarios related at least in part to some form of medical malpractice. 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. If you believe that you or a loved one have been the victim of a medical mistake, medical malpractice, or medical negligence, resulting in injury or death please complete the form below.
