Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Bridgeport and New Haven
Everyday, injured and sick people enter hospitals and doctors' offices. And everyday patients are injured due to medical errors. Patients trust that the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and other medical staff are going to help them get better.
Errors That Result in Medical Malpractice
Several types of medical errors can be made. Patients can suffer because of:
- Simple misdiagnoses
- Delayed or unsuitable treatment
- Prescription errors
- Surgical mistakes
- Injuries incurred during childbirth.
There have even been cases where people later discover a medical instrument, towel, or sponge was left inside their bodies during a surgical procedure.
According to a recent study from Healthgrades, an online resource providing information about medical professionals, Medicare patients had a 20% chance of dying due to medical error> between 2004 and 2006.
Although doctors are required to have more than ten years of training and higher education, millions of potentially life-threatening medical errors happen each year in the United States. Nurses, technicians, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare personnel may also be responsible for medical malpractice.
