As medical patients, we place our trust and confidence in the hands of medical professionals and healthcare institutions. These healthcare providers have a duty to care for their patients in accordance with the health and safety standards in our communities. In 2016, research from John Hopkins University suggested that medical errors were one of the leading causes of death in the United States. However, medical protocols and professional responsibility improve when practitioners are held accountable. If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, you have legal rights. It is important to talk with a lawyer as soon as possible to determine whether you have a case. At Gruel Mills, our attorneys represent victims of medical malpractice in a wide range of areas, including birth trauma, surgical errors, anesthesia errors, prescription errors and other medical mistakes committed by healthcare professionals.
