Preventable Medical Errors and Infections in Florida Hospitals

Have you been affected by an infection or other preventable medical error from a recent hospital visit in West Palm Beach, Florida? Preventable medical errors-such as pressure sores, bloodstream infections, and medication errors-happen more often than most people think. Because most medical errors go unreported by hospitals, you should educate yourself on medical negligence laws in Florida if you suspect you have been wrongly treated.

We have helped many clients in West Palm Beach medical negligence cases. Almost 100,000 people die nationwide each year because of infections and other preventable medical errors - more than from Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, influenza or pneumonia. These errors are often the result of hospitals with poor sanitation and standards, or staff and medical professionals' negligence.

Despite such high numbers of medical errors, many Americans have been led to believe that medical malpractice lawsuits needlessly drive up healthcare costs. We believe that the best way to lower health care costs is to prevent medical errors from occurring and to hold hospitals to a higher standard.
