New Estimate: Over 400,000 May Die Each Year In U.S. Due To Hospital Mistakes

The number will never be certain but it is clear hundreds of thousands of people die prematurely due to what most people call medical malpractice of Hospitals. The Office of Inspector General of the US Department of Health estimated 180,000 Medicare patients die annually from causes associated with Hospital errors (Medical Malpractice Lawyers). A 2013 study suggests that there are 400,000, yes Four Hundred Thousand “premature deaths associated with preventable harm to patients” in Hospitals.

We hear much in the news about those in this country who do not have access to medical care. We hear more about how we have the most expensive health care system.

If you or a loved one are the victims of medical malpractice, call us, we will help you understand your rights.
