Medical malpractice kills 98,000 people every year. That doesn't include patients who suffer brain damage, cerebral palsy or amputations because of medical errors.

We help people in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. 

We only represent people and families; patients injured because of preventable medical mistakes, children with cerebral palsy, workers with on-the-job injuries, people injured in serious car accidents, and families who have lost a loved one.  That's all we do.

 

                    

 

The Senate passed health care reform, but some politicians (and of course insurance companies) continue to blame patients who have the guts to sue doctors and hospitals for increased health care costs.

What are the facts?

According to the Institute of Medicine, 98,000 people die every year due to preventable medical mistakes.  And those are deaths - not amputations, cerebral palsy, brain damage or a host of other horrific injuries.

Its the equivalent of two 737s crashing every day.  If that happened, would we put up with it?  Would we blame the passengers?

How can we reduce medical costs?  By reducing medical malpractice (which is by definition a preventable medical error) and putting patients first. 

Cerebral Palsy can be a devastating injury to a baby, with brain damage, paralysis and developmental delay.  Every child is different, but if your child is not hitting his developmental milestones and you're suspicious it was caused by medical mistakes, call or email us to order one of our free, no obligation books or guides to help your child and your family. 

And call us at (202) 393 - 3320.  Chances are, we've helped someone just like you, your family and your child.  The call is confidential, it's easy and there's no charge.  We're easy to talk to.   

PATIENT SAFETY RULES

Every hospital, HMO and doctor's office is supposed to follow basic patient safety rules.

Like all of us - bus drivers, accountants, construction workers, lawyers, we all have rules to follow.  And nurses, doctors, hospital techs, specialists, consultants are no different. Everyone in healthcare has rules to follow - rules that are in place to keep patients safe.

So if you think someone you know was seriously injured because someone in healthcare didn't follow the rules, or a hospital didn't have a system to make sure the right thing was done, call us or send us a confidential email.  We'll give you as much information as we can about preventable medical mistakes in D.C., Maryland or Virginia and holding the healthcare system accountable for breaking the rules.
