Medical & Dental Malpractice Specialists in Kentucky

Medical and dental malpractice occur when a healthcare professional does not follow the appropriate procedure, prescribes incorrect treatment or medication, and deviates from the standard of care, causing patients injury, illness, and even fatalities. Doctors’ error can have serious impact on the lives of the victims and their families.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States. The number of deaths and injuries resulting from medical and dental malpractice is likely higher, since many cases are not reported.

Kentucky and its major cities like Louisville, Lexington, and the surrounding communities have the highest smoking rate in the US, with more than 28 percent of adults being smokers. In addition, the rate of obesity in the state is increasing. Currently, more than 1,000,000 adults in Kentucky are obese.

However, with these growing health problems, the fact remains that there is only one doctor per 1,000 people across the state. With few primary care physicians and dentists available to the population, many medical malpractice or dental malpractice cases can occur due to a doctor’s error.
