How does medical malpractice affect your family?

Medical malpractice - mistakes by hospitals, HMOs and doctors when they don't follow the rules to keep patients safe - obviously harms and hurts the patient they injure.

But medical malpractice has a broad affect on the injured patient's family as well.

We've represented people who have had a severe brain injury in a hospital and need 24/7 care.  In one case, the father had to quit his job and start a new business so he could be home to help care for his adult daughter.  The family had to convert a first floor room into a hospital room to fit the wheelchair, hospital bed, medical equipment and supplies their daughter needs. Their credit is shot - because Medicaid never pays for everything they need.

Plus, Medicaid never provides the amount of nursing care to take care of someone who needs around the clock care.  And nurses can quit or not show up, leaving the famly in a bind where they can't go to work, can't attend the other kids' activities, or even go out for dinner or a movie.

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.
