Iowa Medical Malpractice Specialists

Unfortunately, medical malpractice can and does occur all across the United States. Dental or medical malpractice can happen when a medical professional follows a procedure incorrectly, prescribes the incorrect medication, or recommends an improper course of treatment. Additionally, a surgeon or doctor performing surgery or treatment may do so incorrectly, or make an error when diagnosing your condition. These victims of medical negligence can end up with injury, illness, or may even be fatally harmed. An error on the part of the doctor can have an enormous impact on a patient’s life as well as the lives of their family members.

Medical and dental malpractice is the third-highest cause of death in the USA, according to studies by the Journal of the American Medical Association. It is likely, however, that the number of deaths caused by medical negligence is much higher, since this study only takes into account the cases of malpractice that are reported.
