Medical Malpractice
Millions of Americans put their trust in medical professionals everyday. Unfortunately, this trust is sometimes misplaced. When a healthcare professional, including doctors, nurses and other medical staff, fail to meet a standard of care or acts negligently, errors can -and do- happen. In fact, medical malpractice represents a leading cause of death in the United States. As many as 100,000 people die every year because of mistakes made by doctors and other medical professionals.

Medical Malpractice and the Law
Victims of medical malpractice have the right to hold responsible parties legally accountable for their losses and to seek compensation for damages incurred.
