"You're Gonna Lovett!"
Medical malpractice refers to an
oversight or omission of accepted
medical standards by a health care
professional that results in injury
or harm to the patient. Every year
thousands of Americans are injured,
hospitalized or die from mistakes
made when receiving medical
attention. Injuries can result from
an incorrect diagnosis, hospital
negligence or prescription errors.
The consequences to patients and
their families can be devastating.
You
should not have to endure a life of
pain and suffering because of
someone else’s oversight or
negligence. If you are hurt or made
to suffer because of medical
negligence you may be entitled to
compensation.
