The Nebraska Injury Law Report

There is a good article out today that discusses medical malpractice and what to do about it.

The article recounts that, “As many as 80,000 people die in the United States each year due partly to medical malpractice, according to a study entitled “Patients, Doctors and Lawyers: Medical Injury, Malpractice Litigation, and Patient Compensation in New York,” published by the Harvard Medical Practice Study.

Despite the high number of deaths and injuries, the article states that, “Only about 2 percent of those injured by physicians’ negligence seek compensation through a lawsuit, according to a 1991 article in the New England Journal of Medicine.”

If you or a loved one have suffered medical malpractice, the article recommends that you talk to a lawyer to help you sort through the complexities of the case, and to determine if you have a case worth pursuing in court.
