Medical Malpractice

Mistakes and errors made by doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. According to a 2016 study, over 251,000 Americans die each year from preventable hospital errors. That’s almost 700 deaths from medical negligence every day.

While most doctors and nurses take their responsibility to their patients very seriously, there are some who do not. In fact, another 2016 study found that 1.8% of physicians were responsible for nearly 50% of all malpractice settlements. We understand that holding physicians accountable is critical to improving the quality of our health care, and to ensuring that physicians uphold the high standards required of their honorable profession.
