Medical negligence can run the gamut from failure to diagnose a life threatening condition such as cancer or a stroke, to surgical mistakes such as amputating the wrong limb. Some medical malpractice is so severe that it can leave a newborn with an injury so severe it lasts a lifetime. Regardless of the type or severity of medical malpractice, it’s a devastating event that affects the victim and the victim’s family.

Medical negligence, if you survive the initial event, almost always means that you will have to have additional medical care, above and beyond the care originally needed. At the very least, this means additional expense and downtime, usually it means more pain and suffering, and often a reduced chance of survival or recovery. Medical negligence can easily result in permanent disability or death.

Victims of medical negligence often avoid or delay future medical treatments, due to a very strong and well-founded fear of doctors and medial treatment, and may suffer disabilities or an early death as a result.
