What is Medical Malpractice?
If you are one of the many people injured in a medical malpractice accident each year and you need lawsuit financing or a lawsuit advance Thrivest Legal Funding may be your answer.
While Harvard researchers found that less than one-half of 1% of the nation’s medical professionals face any serious sanctions each year, a more recent study bu the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences estimate that as many as 98,000 patients may be killed each year as a result of medical errors. In either case, when a medical error does occur the Institute of Medicine believes that one in five medical errors are potentially serious or fatal.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can be divided into 3 categories: human factors, accident malpractice, and gross negligence malpractice. With human factors plaintiffs must show the doctor acted as no reasonable person would have done in the circumstances. With accident malpractice the doctors’ accident will be compared to accidents potentially made by other physicians in similar circumstance. And, with gross negligence malpractice the standard for gross negligence is negligence itself. A victim who needs lawsuit financing or a lawsuit advance can often obtain the following expenses:- funeral and burial expenses
- costs for the payment of additional medical expenses
- loss of physical functionality
- equipment defects
- pain and suffering
- loss of consortium
- emotional damages
- other living expenses
