Medical Mistakes Are A Leading Cause Of Death

Johns Hopkins researchers say that medical
mistakes are the third leading cause of death in
the country, killing approximately 250,000 people
each year. Some estimates put that number closer
to 400,000. What those numbers do not show is the
number of people who survive medical mistakes and
are left dealing with the consequences.

Medical malpractice cases arise when a medical
professional breaches their duty to care for a
patient and causes injury or death. This does not
apply only to doctors and surgeons, but any
licensed medical professional, including nurses,
pharmacists, optometrists, dentists, and more.
