San Antonio Malpractice Wrongful Death Lawyer Serving Bexar County and the Surrounding Areas<\/h2>

Our San Antonio malpractice wrongful death lawyers help families file a wrongful death lawsuit for fatalities caused by medical malpractice. Family members across the country trust hospitals and medical professionals to care for their loved ones. After a loved one’s death, many want to believe that the physician is being honest about what caused their family member’s death. If your family believes you’ve experienced wrongful death and you’re unsure whether taking wrongful death action is appropriate, here is recent information:<\/span><\/p>

A<\/span><\/i> Johns Hopkins study<\/span><\/i><\/a> showed that medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death. Researchers estimated that over 250,000 deaths per year are caused by medical errors. The<\/span><\/i> National Library of Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a> acknowledges the reports ranking hospital and healthcare provider negligence third behind heart disease and cancer. They note that most cases involve medication mistakes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

The<\/span><\/i> U.S. Department of Health and Human Services<\/span><\/i><\/a> tracks all financial payment reports related to medical malpractice lawsuits. According to the most recent data, the NPDB recorded 574 medical malpractice claims in Texas. Wrongful death settlements and jury trial awards resulted in around $126.21 million in total payouts that year.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Despite these high figures, many researchers believe these statistics are too low. The CDC death certificates don’t require physicians to report medical mistakes. Hospitals aren’t required to publicly disclose error rates. Most importantly, healthcare providers aren’t required to be completely transparent with family members asking questions about a tragic loss of a loved one.<\/span><\/i><\/p>
