By Jim Harris
Have you been injured due to surgery in NYC? The leading reason for medical negligence claims against American healthcare providers every year is surgical malpractice. If so, you need a qualified medical malpractice attorney. If you think you're alone, think again. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates that an orthopedic surgeon's chance of performing a wrong-site surgery during a thirty-five year career is 25%. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that approximately 12,000 deaths occur each year due to unnecessary surgery. If you or a loved one have fallen victim to NYC medical negligence, don't hesitate to contact a qualified medical malpractice attorney.
