Medical Malpractice Claims in Missouri
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, physician, dentist, surgeon or other medical professional, either by action or inaction, is negligent in their diagnosis or treatment of a patient and this results in injury or death. Misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication or prescription errors, or any other negligent act can easily cause great injury or illness in a patient. According to an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it is estimated that over 225,000 patients die each year due to iatrogenic causes, those resulting from a doctor or physician's treatment, diagnosis or manner in dealing with a patient.
