Insurance companies would have us all believe that there is a crisis in medical malpractice lawsuits. They're right - nearly 100,000 people die every year from preventable medical malpractice, according to the National Institutes of Medicine, an arm of the National Institutes of Health. And that's just the first tragedy for most of the affected families. The second tragedy happens when they end up in the court system, seeking some justice for their losses.
The series of articles from Hearst Newspapers gives just a few of the 98,000 stories. LINKS. People paralyzed by medical negligence, who recieve virtually no compensation because of limits on their cases. People who are killed from medical negligence, who's families never recover from the financial devestation caused by the negligence. And the tragedies are nationwide.
With the debate on national health care reform, and the insurance companies calling for further limitations on medical negligence cases, these stories are a dire reminder of the need for fair, impartial and full justice in the event of a tragedy. The victims of negligence should not be victimized again in the courtroom just so that the corporate giants and insurance companies can make billions of extra dollars.
