When Medical Malpractice Causes us Injury
Let’s take a look at a scenario: You depend on your doctor for many different things. However, you are misdiagnosed for a disease and do not seek treatment in time, and now you have serious illness as a result that may affect you for the rest of your life. When you depend on a healthcare professional, you are vulnerable as you are placing your entire life in the hands of this professional. The results can be disastrous when you are not treated properly. As a result, many people will turn to the courts to receive compensation and recover costs associated with the injuries or illness. Howev However, the majority of patients do not file a claim for their injuries or illnesses, and there are many reasons for this.
Why Claims Never Get Filed
