How Common is Medical Malpractice?
According to a study by Johns Hopkins, more than 250,000 deaths every year are due to medical malpractice. Assuming this study is accurate, medical malpractice is right behind heart disease and cancer as a leading cause of death in the United States. Five years before the study, approximately 200,000 deaths were related to medical errors. As these numbers continue to grow, so does the need for compassionate, experienced medical malpractice attorneys to advocate for you and your family and guide you through the legal process.
Specialties With High Malpractice Rates
Certain medical specialties are significantly over-represented in medical malpractice claims. The top three spots are taken by general surgery, urology, and ENT specialists. These are followed by OB/GYN specialists, specialized surgery, and radiology. Rounding out the list are emergency medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, and anesthesiology. Some of these fields are naturally more risky than others; a surgeon has more opportunities to make serious errors than, for example, a psychiatrist or pediatrician. OB/GYNs see a wide range of birth complications, and failing to catch them in time can have permanent consequences for mother and baby alike.
However, then you have the field of radiology. This is a field that focuses on diagnostic imaging. Improper imaging or improper interpretation of diagnostic imaging can negatively impact how a patient is treated and the medical care they receive, which is why this specialty is so high on the list.
Who You May Have a Claim Against
If you pursue a lawsuit against a negligent medical care provider, it’s likely that your lawsuit will actually name multiple parties. The provider in question will obviously be listed, but your suit may also name other staff members and the facility itself. The latter is especially common if the malpractice is a result of chronic understaffing, improper protocols regarding patient treatment, or insufficient support for physicians and care providers. Depending on the outcome of the case, liability may be limited to one party or spread amongst everyone named.
