First, Do No Harm: Injuries From Medical Negligence
Hancock Law Firm, P.A.
A startling report by the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine revealed an epidemic of medical errors in the United States. According to the report, as many as 98,000 Americans die each year from preventable mistakes made by hospitals, doctors, nurses and other health care providers. To put it in perspective, that's almost three times the number of annual deaths from traffic crashes. Countless more patients survive medical errors, but with a lifetime of medical problems and disabilities.
If you suspect that medical negligence caused injury or a loved one's death, or resulted in a delayed diagnosis of a treatable condition, the Hancock Law Firm can assess your potential medical malpractice lawsuits against a physician, hospital or other provider.
