Medical Malpractice Case

 
According to the Institute of Medicine, medical errors kill 98,000 Americans each year. Hundreds of thousands more are seriously injured.

Studies of the pervasive problem of medical errors have also found that an estimated 3 to 4 percent of hospitalized patients received the wrong drug, dose or treatment, and that such mistakes are implicated in the death of one in 10 of these victims. (Washington Post, February 18, 2003; Page HE01) Autopsy studies showed rates between 35 and 40% of missed diagnoses with most resulting in death. Numerically, this is more than three fully loaded jumbo jets crashing every week with no survivors.

Contrary to news media reports, surprisingly few claims are actually filed. Only 2% of people injured by physician’s negligence seek compensation through a lawsuit. One reason is that medical malpractice cases are extremely expensive and time intensive. It is not unusual for an attorney representing a plaintiff in a medical malpractice case to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 in expenses and spend two to three years on the case. For that reason, most attorneys, and most clients for that matter, will not pursue a claim against a doctor or a hospital unless the injuries are serious and permanent or involve death.

Studies show that a startling 5% of the doctors are responsible for 50% of the medical malpractice committed in this country. The law firm of Paglialunga & Harris, PS, located in Seattle, Washington, believes it is important to hold these doctors responsible for the consequences of their negligent conduct.
