Medical Malpractice in New Jersey

Medical malpractice is any type of professional negligence or error caused by a doctor or other healthcare professionals that resulted in patient injury.  But how do you know if you suffered medical malpractice?  It can take many forms, and sometimes patients are not even aware that they were victimized.  In 2006, a study by the Institute of Medicine found that medication errors are one of the most frequently made medical mistakes, resulting in harm to least 1.5 million people every year in the United States.

In addition, according to the Journal for Quality & Safety in Health Care, a 2004 study showed that medical negligence was also one of the greatest forms of malpractice resulting in severe injuries to patients.  While the study found this to be generally true in hospitals, the number of injuries and deaths was even greater in outpatient settings.  One-third of these negligence claims were the result of a misdiagnosis by a physician or nurse practitioner.

Patients have the legal right to rely on medical professionals to provide competent care and treatment.  When doctors fail to follow correct standards of care, serious injury and death may result.
