IVF Problems and Negligence Claims

Research has confirmed that preventable medical errors cause the death of 440,000 people each year in the United States. These errors cost the nation, tens of billions of dollars every year. It is reported that 1 in 3 patients will experience a medical error when they are admitted to the hospital.

Medical negligence lawsuits amount to one-half of 1% of all costs in the health care industry. Cases related to medical negligence represent about 2% of all civil cases in the United States.
