Professional Malpractice

When Doctors Attack

Sworn to do no harm, doctors seem just as willing to avoid admitting when their mistakes - or when mistakes by nurses or hospitals - injure or kill. Instead of becoming better doctors, or getting rid of the worst repeat offenders, doctors want to restrict their own liability - that means, restrict your rights.

Medical malpractice is one of the most under-used areas of the law, though it's not because fewer doctors are hurting people, or because they're getting better. Medical malpractice insurance companies are making record billions in profits by creating a 'false crisis' in medical malpractice insurance law, and then using that crisis to intimidate lawmakers into limiting liability for the wealthy doctors who injure and kill their patients every day.

Of all the medical malpractice which takes place in the United States, less than 8% of the victims ever go to Court, because insurance companies try to intimidate lawyers into refusing to take the cases.

Don't be one of the silent sufferers. Don't let doctors and their insurance carriers intimidate and bully you into thinking that, no matter how badly the doctor erred, 'stuff happens.' Go to lawyers who aren't afraid of the insurance company bullies.
