Medical Malpractice

San Diego Medical Malpractice Attorney

The overwhelming majority of practicing healthcare professionals are committed to their patients and responsible in their treatments. However, even the most well-intentioned physicians can commit negligence that leaves the patient devastated and damaged for the rest of their life. In many medical malpractice claims, the plaintiff must hire an expert to testify regarding the plaintiff's injuries. Unfortunately, this can be an expensive process.

Medical malpractice statistics

According to a study by HealthGrades, Inc., over 195,000 people die each year due to medical negligence. In fact, medical negligence and related medical errors is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Despite this staggering statistic, only 5 percent of all medical malpractice cases that go to trial win. Therefore, the design on what type of case to take is very important.

Some examples of medical or doctor negligence can include:

• Birth injuries
• Medication and pharmaceutical errors
• Operating on the wrong body part
• Failure to diagnose
• Medical neglect
• Cancer misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Leaving tools and sponges inside the patient
• Drug mistakes
