When you go to a doctor or medical professional or are admitted into a hospital, you expect that you will receive the best possible care. The expectation is that the doctors, nurses, and other medical workers are all capable and fully qualified to give you the care and treatment you require. The truth is that medical experts often make mistakes.

When doctors make a mistake or make the wrong decision, the consequences can be serious.

Medical errors are a serious problem that costs over $20 billion a year. Mistakes and negligence by medical professionals lead to additional medical expenses to correct the issues.
