The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

According to a heart-stopping statistic, some hospitals are responsible for causing harm to up to 36% of their patients due to medical errors that caused injuries and deaths.

Medical malpractice is the result of a negligent act by a healthcare professional or facility that culminates in damage to a patient. That healthcare professional or facility may include, but not be limited to, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nursing homes or hospitals and involve misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, medication and dosage errors, failure to diagnose a life-threatening disease and other countless acts of negligence.

Medical malpractice laws were designed to protect patients and their right to pursue financial compensation if they were injured as a result of medical negligence and malpractice. There are time constraints governing how long someone may wait to bring a medical malpractice claim.
