Medical malpractice stories


Each year hundreds of thousands of patients step forward with medical malpractice stories of injuries they have suffered such as misdiagnoses, medication errors, surgical errors, limbs that were amputated, to name a few.  Each story is unique however, they all have one thing in common, and the damages suffered were all devastating.  The trauma the patients all have suffered, such as emotional upset or financial losses, cannot be undone very easily.

Medical Malpractice Stories in the News

At any time, finding malpractice stories in the news about medical negligence being the cause of an individual's (including babies and children) devastation is often seen.  These stories also tell about the legal consequences of medical negligence.

Share Your Medical Malpractice Story with an Attorney

The appropriate course of action depends on the circumstances of the individual's medical malpractice stories.  They may have the right to file a lawsuit.  There are laws, both state and federal that give the individual the right to hold the negligent party responsible for their actions.

A victim may be entitled to some compensation for the losses they had to bear.  For this reason, individuals who have been wrongfully harmed by a doctor, nurse or other medical staff should share their stories with an expert attorney.  A professional medical attorney can:


Evaluate the claim to determine if a lawsuit is a possible course of action
Establish the amount of damages that could be sought in a lawsuit - for example, damages for medical expenses, lost wages and mental anguish.
Negotiate a settlement with the responsible party(s) if possible
Act as an advocate for the client throughout the legal process

Malpractice cases have strict time limits called statute of limitations.  If you think you have a claim; share with an attorney your malpractice stories immediately.  Failing to do so may forfeit your rights.
