Counting the Cost of Medical Malpractice in Hospitals
According to the National Institutes of Health, over 200,000 people die every year because of mistakes made in hospitals.
Very often, families don't realize there has been hospital medical malpractice. Doctors and nurses will call injuries caused by medical malpractice a "complication" and act as if an unnecessary death was "God's will". They'll cover for each other, and they won't look you in the eye. The "conspiracy of silence" is very real.
That's just plain wrong. You and your family deserve the truth.

Common Hospital Malpractice Questions
When people call us about their medical malpractice cases involving hospitals, they often ask some of the same questions:

Q: What is the Statute of Limitations for a Medical Malpractice Claim Against a Hospital?;
A: In general, the statue of limitations for any medical malpractice claim provides that you must file your suit within two years of the negligent care you are complaining about.

Types of Hospital Medical Malpractice Cases
Some of the more frequent cases we handle include:
-
emergency room cases -- where doctors and nurses ignored patients, or missed their injury, or discharged a patient without treating the illness or injury that was killing them. These cases include malpractice in missing heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, cancer, and infections.
-
errors in anesthesia -- these are cases where too much anesthesia was used during surgery, or the patient wasn't properly monitored, or the patient didn't get enough oxygen, or choked during the surgery.
