Waco Wrongful Death Lawyer
The primary duty of doctors and nurses is laid out in the Hippocratic Oath: “First, do no harm.” These individuals are responsible for restoring the health of the sick and securing the health of the well. Sometimes, the circumstances in which they are trying to administer care are fraught with extreme stress and anxiety, particularly in the emergency room. But regardless of the conditions, there is no excuse for medical errors that result in the wrongful death of a loved one.

Wrongful Death Statistics
With the potential dangers posed by surgical tools, pharmaceutical drugs, illegible medical records and prescriptions, and the pressure to cut costs and save time, it almost seems a wonder that more patients are not harmed. But even so, the statistics regarding how many lives are lost or otherwise endangered by medical malpractice in hospitals are staggering:
- It is estimated that at least 90,000 patient fatalities result from medical malpractice every year.
- More than 7,000 of those deaths are attributable to medication errors.
- Roughly 1,200 fatalities are caused by unintentional punctures or cuts.
Dozens of patients are killed each year when foreign objects are left in the body cavity.
