Medical Negligence
According to the fifth annual "Patient Safety in American Hospitals" study, conducted by HealthGrades® and spotlighted in the Washington Post, more than 230,000 patients suffered potentially preventable deaths between 2004 and 2006 as a result of medical errors. During the same time period, it is estimated that approximately 1.1 million patient safety errors occurred in hospitals throughout the country. Considering that auto accidents claim roughly 40,000 victims a year, it is not hard to see that the number of preventable deaths as a result of medical errors is staggering. Patient safety errors, including emergency room errors, medication errors, diagnosis errors, and surgical errors, can result in severe injury, such as brain and spinal cord injury, infectious diseases such as MRSA, VRE, and necrotizing fasciitis, and even death. The risk and impact of medical negligence on patients throughout the country is real and should not be marginalized.
The medical negligence lawyers at our law firm, serving Pittsburgh and other Pennsylvania areas, can assist you in filing a wrongful death claim if a loved one has been killed as a result of the negligent and careless actions of a healthcare provider. In the event you suffered injury or illness because a healthcare provider failed to perform his or her duties to the accepted standard of care, our team can help you file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible parties. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your claim, it may be possible for you to obtain financial compensation for medical costs (including future medical costs related to your injury), rehabilitation costs, loss of wages (including future wages), inhibited earning capacity, and pain and suffering. At Raizman Frischman & Matzus, P.C., we are proud of the work we do on behalf of our clients, and we will treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve.
