An estimated one million people are injured by errors during hospital treatment each year and 120,000 people die as a result of those injuries, according to a study authored by an expert from the Harvard School of Public Health. More people die from medical negligence each year than from the combined total fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents, falls, drowning and aviation incidents. These mistakes are rarely reported to the general public. Frequently, when confronted with a medical malpractice claim, the health care industry resorts to attacks on both lawyers and patients who are alleged to have filed groundless and frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits.
When someone has been injured by the medical negligence of a physician or hospital, expert legal assistance is required to place the victim on the same playing field with the health care industry and their tremendous resources in the ensuing litigation.
