How Common Is Medical Malpractice?

According to the Civil Rights Justice Group (CRJG), 25,000 to 120,000 patients die every year as a result of provider negligence. In total, 0.8% to 1% of patients become victims of medical malpractice. However, of those victims, less than three percent file claims to seek compensation for their losses. 

There are a number of factors associated with medical negligence, including inexperience, miscommunication, defective medical equipment, and impairment. Victims of malpractice deserve the opportunity to seek compensation for their losses through an injury claim. 

Our injury and accident attorneys are well-versed in Georgia medical malpractice laws. We are prepared to guide you through the claims process to ensure you are on the fast track to recovery. When you first come to us, we will evaluate your situation and determine the type of medical negligence to which you were subjected.

The Types of Medical Negligence 

Victims of medical malpractice may experience different accidents or negligent situations that cause their injuries. Some of the most common types of medical negligence include the following:  

  • Anesthesia Errors — General anesthesia is used in many common medical procedures and surgeries. The specialist administering the medication needs to ensure they do so properly. Too much anesthesia can result in a patient stopping breathing, potentially acquiring brain damage. Too little anesthesia may result in a patient waking up during surgery or experiencing significant pain. 
  • Childbirth Injuries — The birth of a child is supposed to be a joyous occasion. Unfortunately, medical malpractice can injure both the mother and child. Inexperience, improper use of intervention devices, and malpractice early on in pregnancy can harm the mother or cause life-long complications for the baby. 
  • Failure to Treat — A failure to treat a case occurs when a doctor does not listen to a patient’s complaints in full or fails to arrive at a diagnosis using expected standard practices. As a result, the patient’s condition is likely to worsen while treatment is delayed, and more extreme medical intervention may be needed depending on the complications.
  • Medication Mistakes — Before prescribing a medication, the doctor and pharmacist have a duty to make sure it is unlikely the patient will have any reactions or interactions with the drug. Failure to properly evaluate a patient’s medical history, including the full range of medications they take, can result in a severe medication reaction. 
  • Misdiagnosis — Misdiagnosis occurs when a physician diagnoses a patient with the condition that they do not have as a result of failing to conduct a proper evaluation. 
  • Surgical Errors — Common surgical errors include performing surgery on the wrong side of the body, performing surgery on the wrong patient, and leaving medical tools or implements inside patients’ bodies. 

No matter what type of malpractice you have been subjected to, you deserve a fair chance at recovery. The medical malpractice lawyers from the CEO Lawyer Personal Injury Law Firm can help. To better understand your options, let us take a look at what you may be able to recover by filing a medical malpractice claim in Georgia. 

Medical Malpractice and Insurance Companies 

It is no secret that insurance companies are focused on making a profit. If you are looking to file a medical malpractice claim against a hospital or a doctor, the defending party’s insurance company is likely to do whatever it takes to minimize or erase any potential settlement for your recovery. In addition to that, it is likely the negligent medical professional will do whatever they can to protect their reputation, which means doing anything they can to have your claim dismissed. 

With protection from an attorney, you will be fully aware of your rights and will not have to worry about being pushed aside by an insurance company. Not only will our Georgia medical malpractice lawyers ensure we value your claim fully, but we also will not let an insurance company talk you out of what you are owed.  

Maximizing Your Compensation and Recovery 

If you have been injured by a medical professional, you’ve likely experienced a number of losses. Some of the most common losses malpractice victims seek to recover include the following: 

  • Medical expenses — When medical malpractice results in more medical care than you were expecting to receive, the bills can pile up quickly. With the help of an attorney, you can collect a settlement that covers all related medical expenses. 
  • Lost wages — If you need to take time off of work to recover from medical negligence, your attorney can help you seek compensation for those losses. 
  • Pain and suffering — Suffering from medical malpractice can take a physical and mental toll on a person. If your everyday activities have been affected and you are experiencing a loss of enjoyment in life, your lawyer can help you recover compensation for your suffering.
  • Future medical care — Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may require medical care and rehabilitative support on an ongoing basis. Our attorneys can estimate what that care will cost you and ensure it is included in your settlement or verdict. 
  • Impacted earning capacity — If your injuries leave you with long-term injuries or disabilities, you may be unable to return to work in the same capacity as before. When that is the case, you may be able to recover compensation to make up for any lost earning capacity. 

Medical malpractice compensation varies, as every case is different. In order to maximize your recovery, it is often in your best interest to work with an experienced attorney. They will help you file a claim and fight for a fair settlement. In the event reaching a settlement is not an option, your lawyer can explain the litigation process to you and help you file a medical malpractice lawsuit against all appropriate parties.
