Providing Legal Representation in Medical Malpractice Cases

Malpractice poses a real risk to all healthcare patients. There are some very troubling industry studies conducted by reputable medical institutions that reveal there is a national patient safety crisis in the medical industry. One study by the Institute of Medicine revealed that as many as 98,000 patients die each year from preventable medical malpractice. Further, the Institute of Medicine ranked medical malpractice as the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, as it kills more people than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer and AIDS. Beyond the cost in human lives, preventable medical malpractice exacts other significant costs. Some studies estimate that the total costs per year, including the cost of additional medical care necessitated by malpractice, range between 17 and 29 billion dollars. Perhaps most costly of all is the loss of trust by patients and their families in the healthcare industry. The Institute of Medicine’s study concluded that the healthcare industry is a decade or more behind other high risk industries in its attention to ensuring basic patient safety.

At the Pittsburgh-based office of Raizman Frischman & Matzus, P.C., serving all of Pennsylvania (including Greensburg and Cranberry Township), we urge you to contact a medical malpractice attorney if you believe that you or someone you love has suffered an injury due to malpractice. There are a multitude of misconceptions about medical malpractice cases. A poor result or patient outcome alone does not mean that medical malpractice has occurred. In a medical malpractice case, the law requires an injured party to prove that a physician or hospital failed to provide medical services in the manner which the medical profession requires, often referred to as the standard of care. In other words, an injured party in a medical malpractice case must prove that the doctor or hospital either provided certain medical care negligently or was negligent in their failure to provide certain medical care that was required under the circumstances. Our attorneys have extensive experience with medical malpractice cases, including claims involving birth injury, diagnosis errors, medication errors, surgical errors, infectious diseases, general medical errors, emergency room errors, and cancer cases, and they can protect your rights. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, you may be eligible to obtain compensation for medical costs, loss of wages, and pain and suffering. If you or someone you love has been injured as a result of malpractice, we can help you obtain justice on your behalf.

The stakes are typically very high in medical malpractice cases and obtaining a successful resolution can be difficult. The defendants have extensive resources and will vigorously defend their interests in court. Furthermore, medical science can be unpredictable and imprecise; for medical malpractice to have occurred, a healthcare provider must have caused an injury as a result of his or her negligence and failure to abide by the standard of care. If you are seeking legal counsel for a medical malpractice claim, an attorney from our Pittsburgh law firm (serving areas throughout Pennsylvania) will thoroughly investigate your claim to obtain justice on your behalf.
