Medical malpractice, as it’s legally defined, occurs when a healthcare provider causes injury or damage to a patient by performing an act or an act of omission that deviates from the accepted norms of care. Unfortunately, such incidents are increasingly common.
According to John Hopkins University researchers, medical error claims more than 251,000 lives each year, making it the third leading cause of death in the United States. This is more than respiratory disease, stroke, and “accidents” such as car wrecks.
That number alone is startling, but it doesn’t compare to the number of severe injuries that result from medical malpractice, which some estimate to be 40 times the death rate. As patients, parents, spouses, and caretakers, it’s important to understand how frequently medical malpractice may occur.
