a trip to the hospital, but this isn’t always true. Medical malpractice, or improper or harmful medical care, is the
sixth leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and 80% of that is due to simple human error. As a
result, those who are victims of negligent or otherwise inadequate care at the hands of a doctor, nurse, or other
medical staff typically need to hire a medical malpractice attorney to file lawsuit against a hospital or private
practice. There are many types of medical malpractice that people don’t even consider.
What is a medical malpractice attorney? These are personal injury lawyers who will fight for their clients to win a

professional’s negligence. Worse yet, however, is that most people don’t know that they can sue for this kind of
behavior, so only one in every eight preventable medical errors that take place in a hospital results in medical
malpractice claims. In other words, many victims don’t realize that they have legal recourse in these situations.
