Imperial Valley Medical Error Lawyer
Anytime a medical professional provides an incomplete or false diagnosis or insufficient treatment for an injury, condition, illness or behavior, he/she may be accused of committing a medical error. While it’s true that everyone makes mistakes, the devastating reality is that when medical professionals make mistakes, they can injure and even kill their patients. This is why so much emphasis is placed on providing an “acceptable” standard of care in the medical community. Medical providers that make errors, whether intentional or unintentional, are certainly not acting in an acceptable manner.
Unfortunately, medical errors are made more frequently than most people believe. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that every year, 1,000,000 people are injured by medical errors. Even more horrifying is the fact that 44,000 to 98,000 patients are killed by medical errors each year (JAMA).
Medical errors can be devastating for patients for numerous reasons. First, medical errors can cause patients to incur additional symptoms or worse complications than they originally had. Second, due to the medical errors, patients may require additional medical treatment, which can cost them a great deal of time. It can also cost them a great deal of money as medical care in the U.S. is very expensive. Finally, victims of medical errors may never make a full recovery from their conditions. This means that they will constantly have to deal with limitations and setbacks that are caused by the errors their medical providers made.
