Medication Errors
One of the most common cases in the area of medical malpractice and hospital negligence is medication errors.
Your health is your most precious and irreplaceable asset. When you place your health in the care of medical professionals, you are essentially trusting them with your most priceless possession. In order to ensure that this trust is respected, health care providers are both legally and ethically bound to a rigorous standard of treatment that must be met every time they render their services. The failure to meet this standard, either accidentally or willfully, constitutes medical malpractice.
