Medical Malpractice Statistics

Many medical malpractice statistics show that though the frequency of negligence in hospitals had a greater proportion of severe damage, the total number of errors and deaths due to mistakes were far greater for outpatients. No primary medical condition was related to more than 5% of all malpractice claims, and 1/3 of all claims were the direct effect of misdiagnosis. Should you or a loved one suffer damages while "under the knife," it may be time to consider going forward with a medical malpractice lawsuit. Of course, it is always best to confer with an attorney prior to any legal proceedings.

Fast Facts

  • Within hospital walls, 400,000 drug-related injuries take place every year that could be prevented, according to a 2004 I.O.M. Study.
  • The Frye test is a scientific consensus that measures the admissibility of expert scientific evidence.
