What is Medical Malpractice?

Hi. I’m John Perconti, one of the founding partners of Levin & Perconti in Chicago. The Institute of Medicine estimates that 98,000 people are injured or killed as a result of medical malpractice every year. And this does not include the many that go unreported. When you suffer a serious injury or a loved one dies as a result of medical malpractice, you have a right to hold those providers professionally accountable. There are a number of different types of medical malpractice cases. Some of them include a failure to diagnose, a misdiagnosis of of a particular condition, surgical errors, prescription errors, hospital falls, obstetrical errors leading to birth injury, pressure sores. These are some general types of medical malpractice cases. If you think that something untoward happened in a doctor’s office by a nurse, by a doctor, or in a hospital, you may have a potential medical malpractice case.
