Personal Injury Attorneys with a Personal Approach
The Insitute of Medicine defines patient safety as, "freedom from accidental injury due to medical care, or medical errors." While we trust our doctors and hospitals to keep us safe, sometimes they are not as competent and careful as we expect.
Patient safety is still a concern.
In the 2009 study by Healthgrades, Patient Safety in American Hospitals, patient safety events results in 92,882 potentially preventable deaths from 2005 through 2007. And, in a 1999 report, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical errors. It further noted that more individuals die each year from adverse events in the delivery of health care than die from automobile accidents (43,458) and workplace injuries (6,000), and that deaths caused by medical errors exceed the number attributable to breast cancer, the 8th leading cause of death.
We personally guide you every step of the way.
If you or your family member have been a victim of a medical error, the Colorado Springs personal injury attorneys at Anderson & Travis are here to personally guide you through your medical malpractice claim. Common malpractice claims include:
- Failure to diagnose
- Misdiagnosis
- Medication error
- Birth injuries
- Unnecessary procedures
- Retained foreign objects
- Medical errors (surgical, anesthetic, etc.)
Medicine is not an exact science, so doctor's mistakes are not always considered malpractice. We will assist you in gathering your medical records and submitting them to a medical professional for review. It must be determined that the medical error violated the applicable standard of care. Additionally, the injury must have been directly caused by the physician and be severe enough to justify litigation. If you are a victim of medical malpractice we will take the necessary steps to advocate for you.
