Preventable hospital medical errors cause the death of between 44,000 and 98,000 people a year, according to the Institute of Medicine. Along with increased specialization in medically related areas, the scope of professionals subject to medical malpractice lawsuits has also widened, and includes numerous trained specialists, among them anesthesiologists, surgeons, chiropractors, dentists, and cardiologists.

Whatever the surroundings, whether in a hospital, doctor’s office, out-patient clinic, or nursing home, medical malpractice is prevalent. Medical malpractice can result from any number of causes including –improper use of a medical device, surgical error, hospital based infections, misdiagnosis or failure to treat within a timely manner. Birth/Neonatal injuries often occur from improperly performed deliveries. In one case, a nurse sent the patient home saying he had the flu and failed to run diagnostic tests or consult with the physician. The patient died at home due to bacterial pneumonia which led to multi-organ failure. This case resulted in a multi-million dollar verdict.
