Medical Malpractice Overview
New Orleans Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Though medical malpractice is complex, we have the resources and expertise
to handle your case. Physicians are highly trained and educated professionals–however–whether
due to working long hours, the fast paced hospital environment, or miscommunications
between nurses, or other staff, medical professionals sometimes commit
errors in rendering treatment.
The Institute of Medicine estimates that over one million patients are
injured or killed every year as a result of medical malpractice. Despite
these statistics, Healthgrades estimates that only 2% of those people
file claims to hold those medical providers responsible for their malpractice.
