Doctors and hospitals are supposed to help the patients whom they can help, maintain the health of patients whose health can be maintained, and provide compassion and comfort to all patients. They are not supposed to harm patients.
Yet, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reports that about 225,000 people die each year from medical malpractice. About one half of the fatalities occur due to emergency room errors. Other common reasons for medical malpractice deaths include medication errors, unnecessary surgeries, hospital infections, and other hospital errors.
Pennsylvania patients are not immune to the potential harm that can be caused by negligent doctors and hospitals. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of a doctor or hospital then you are undoubtedly grieving and suffering as a result. A compassionate Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyer will take the time to understand your loss, to allow you to grieve and to fight hard for any financial compensation to which you may be entitled.
