The American Medical Association has found that over 60 percent of doctors over the age of 55 will be sued at least once during their career.

This means that 95 malpractice suits have been filed for every 100 doctors, but many of the cases are dismissed or dropped. AMA surveyed 5,825 physicians from the Physician Practice Information survey and found their answer from one of the survey questions about how many claims were filed on each doctor in their career, but the outcome of the case was not asked.

While many injuries and illnesses are not severe, they can still cause significant long-term impact if not treated promptly. Typically, receiving timely treatment is not difficult. Most doctors will correctly diagnose the problem and provide adequate treatment.

However, in some cases, doctors may delay treatment for many reasons. For instance, a doctor may misdianose an injury or illness and apply the wrong treatment. When this occurs, the untreated injury or illness could lead to significant long-term damage. 

If you or anyone you know has suffered because they have not received proper treatment in a timely manner, contact the Kenosha delay in treatment lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

San Francisco--The family of a five-year old girl has filed a lawsuit against the Alta Bates Medical Center and the Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center, alleging that their daughter developed a preventable disease because at her birth doctors failed to diagnose and treat her jaundice, which developed into the more serious kernicterus. The doctors had noted the girl's jaundice at her birth but did not conduct a medical test. Some time after her birth, her parents noted that her jaundice was worsening. To have a blood test conducted, they had to go to the Kaiser Permanent Oakland Medical Center twice because of non-responsiveness on the part of the hospital. After the Oakland Medical Center provided the results, they made the family drive in heavy traffic without ambulance to the Alta Bates Medical Center, where tests and procedures were further delayed. The family seeks to obtain lifetime medical expenses for the care of their daughter. If you or someone close to you has suffered because of medical negligence of any sort, you may be entitled to damages.
