MEDICAL LEGAL ISSUES
 Errors
can and do happen in the practice of healthcare, often
with tragic results. According to the Institute of Medicine,
medical errors kill between 48,000 to 100,000 persons
each year. Malpractice can take the forms such as improper
diagnosis (for example, misdiagnosis of cancer), prescription
drug errors, hospital negligence or HMO delays in treatment.
Patients Are Powerful provides FREE Medical Legal advise
from our many volunteer attorneys. Please click on the
link below and briefly tell us your concern for legal
action. Patients Are Powerful will review each request
and work to keep your case in the strictest of confidence.
Empowered Patients considering legal action move quickly
to capture and document all the information and associated
names in their case. If suspected negligence ends in a
patient's death, demand an on-site autopsy at the hospital
or off-site through your local governmental agency. Never
state your intent to file a lawsuit, but rather be firm
in your request to gather all pertinent information. Try
desperately to put your emotions of loss aside and channel
your available energies to uncover answers to your questions
concerning the quality of medical care administered. Any
deviations from the "Standard of Medical Care"
will hold someone liable. Our legal team can help you
through the entire process…….trust us and allow
us to help.
