Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice is a serious problem in the United States. While the vast majority of physicians provide excellent care to their patients, statistics on medical malpractice are alarming. A recent study by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences estimated that as many as 98,000 patients may be killed each year by hospitals alone as a result of medical malpractice. In 1984, Harvard researchers found that 1 % of a representative sample of patients treated in New York State Hospitals were injured and 1/4 of those died, because of medical malpractice. Nationwide, this would have translated into 243,000 injuries and 80,000 deaths in 1988 from negligence in American hospitals. Most of this involves physicians. There has been no clear evidence that there has been a significant improvement since that time.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
In Connecticut, the owner or possessor of the dog is strictly liable if his dog bites another person and causes the victim to sustain injuries. As long as you were not teasing or tormenting the dog at the time of the attack, you should be entitled to compensation for any injuries that you received as a result of the dog bite or attack. Your compensation can include the cost of your medical bills, any future medical bills that you may incur, pain and suffering and compensation for any scars of illnesses that you sustain as a result of the dog bite.
