Preserving Lives, Pursuing Justice: The Impact of Medical Malpractice
Throughout our lives, we will need the help of medical professionals as they possess skills beyond our own. They have many years of advanced education, training, and experience. We trust these professionals to act in our best interests because they know more about the subject matter than we do.
Unfortunately, medical professionals sometimes make errors or commit wrongdoing that falls below their profession’s standards. When this results in injury or financial loss to a patient, they and their loved ones can trust medical malpractice attorneys in Georgia to prosecute the negligent professional to recover losses.
What are types of medical malpractice?
Recent studies estimate that more than 250,000 patients die from medical errors every year. This statistic fails to account for the countless number of patients that suffer non-fatal injuries caused by these errors. These mistakes take place in hospitals, nursing homes, and medical facilities across the United States.
While there are many reasons medical negligence occurs, it is frequently caused by:
- Poorly trained or skilled staff
- Poorly staffed facilities
- Errors in judgment or care
- Failure to diagnose a medical condition
- Preventable adverse effects
- Surgical errors
- Medication errors, and
- Medical complications as a result of improper or inadequate care
