What is Medical Malpractice?

Medical Malpractice cases arise when a patient is injured by the medical negligence or intentional acts of a healthcare provider such as a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, or dentist.  When a health care provider deviates from the recognized standard of care, causing a patient to suffer severe injuries, creating the need for additional medical intervention or surgery, or resulting in death, there is a basis for a medical malpractice claim.

Statistics

  • Every year, over 200,000 people in the US die as a result of preventable
    medical errors.

  • In 2012 alone, over $3 Billion was spent in medical malpractice payouts

  • The top five states for medical malpractice payouts are New York, Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, and Florida
