Injuries Sustained in Medical Malpractice
Thousands of people yearly are affected by medical malpractice claims. Injuries can extend from minor infections to removal of incorrect organs, incorrect dosage of drugs and even death. Additional medical treatment for the injury caused by the malpractice needs to be compensated for in any claim presented on your behalf. And because of the added trauma and suffering which this type of injury can create, you are likely entitled to pain and suffering compensation, especially if gross negligence can be shown.
A recent example of medical malpractice was defective CT scans being conducted on patients that were giving patients radiations well in excess of what is normal, causing some severe effects. Not only were the patients negligently treated, but they were not informed of this error until it was disclosed much later.
