A well-established practice that specializes in claims related to serious injuries and death. You or a member of your immediate family have you ever felt concerned about a health care professional (Hospitals, Doctors, Dentists, Nurses, Therapists) who treated you? They may have made a wrong diagnosis, made it late, prescribed the incorrect medication, made a serious error in surgery, not followed directions or given the wrong treatment. This conduct caused a fatality, terminal illness, reduced life expectancy or any other serious injury. Health care providers are required to follow the "standards of care," which is what an appropriately prudent provider of health care would do in similar circumstances. In the event that a provider of health care did not follow the standard care and an injury occurred, the individual or company they may have worked for was likely negligent. A claim of "medical negligence" could be made. According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins University, more than 250.000 Americans die each year due to medical mistakes. Some reports put the number at as high as 444,000. After heart disease and Cancer, medical errors are the leading cause of death.
