Sadly, people are
injured by medical malpractice every day. Thousands are hurt by medical
malpractice in this country every year.
Much of this malpractice goes undetected. Unbelievably, some health care providers alter records,
remove portions of records or fail to make entries in the medical record
in an effort to avoid discovery of their negligence.
Most hospitals and doctors will make it difficult for you to obtain a copy of your
own medical record. In a perfect world, a health care provider who injures
a patient would step forward, acknowledge his or her mistake, and try
to help the patient obtain compensation for their injury. Unfortunately,
this rarely if ever occurs.
Almost all health care providers have medical malpractice insurance because they know they can negligently injure patients.
This is similar to the insurance you have on your car. As a result of this insurance, the health care provider in most cases
will not be out of pocket to compensate a badly injured patient for his or her loss; compensation will come from the
insurance company.
As such, you would expect the health care provider to be the patient's advocate with the
insurance company to get compensation for the injured patient. Too often the health care provider not only
refuses to help, but also opposes settlement to avoid having the injury
attributed to the health care provider who caused the injury.
Unfortunately,
the overwhelming vast majority of healthcare providers and their insurance
companies band together to fight the legitimate and valid claims of
people who have been hurt. Some of the insurance companies sell their
policies to the health care providers on the basis that they will fight
claims and that they will not settle even valid claims without the healthcare provider's consent. In fact,
the doctors in this State have their own medical malpractice insurance company, a company that pays them to be
away from their practice and to go to court to fight the injured patient's
claims. That's where we come in.
