Patients trust that the doctors, nurses, surgeons, and pharmacists who care for them are well-trained, trustworthy, and ethical. Tragically, medical malpractice is shockingly common, and every year thousands of patients suffer serious injury or wrongful death as a result of mistakes made by medical professionals. While it is unreasonable to expect that medical professionals never make mistakes, it is absolutely permissible to hold physicians and medical staff accountable when their negligence causes patients harm.
Medical errors could be the result of poor judgment; medical professionals who are overworked, under-assisted, or under qualified; or, in the worst cases, medical caregivers who simply do not care enough. Regardless of the cause of medical malpractice, it is simply unacceptable, and victims are legally entitled to compensation.
