The birth of a child should be among life’s most joyous occasions. Unfortunately, sometimes there can be a life-threatening or debilitating danger — to the baby, to the mother or to both. This can happen prenatally, during childbirth or even after delivery. Birth injuries can cause physical, developmental, emotional and financial damage to a family for decades to come.

A burn injury is known to be one of most painful injuries a person can experience. The wound care required to treat it can be even more painful than the initial incident. A burn injury can cause deep emotional trauma and physical disfiguring.

No one plans for a car accident. Whether caused by a drunk driver, distracted driver or defective auto part, serious collisions can occur with no warning and leave victims devastated, both physically and financially.

When you go to a doctor for a regular checkup or with a concern — whether it is a suspicious symptom, a nagging complaint or a sudden pain — you expect that doctor to practice good and appropriate medicine. You rightly expect the doctor to take a full medical history, to properly and completely examine you, to order the full range of appropriate tests and then read the results carefully. All of those components when combined diligently and properly result in what doctors refer to as a differential diagnosis: This is what is probably the problem. And from there, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate treatment and care.

Hospitals can be very dangerous places. In 1999, the National Academies of Science’s Institute of Medicine released a study titled “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System.” The study found that more than 1 million injuries and up to 98,000 deaths each year could be attributed to medical errors. While efforts have been made to make medicine, surgery and hospitals safer, the fact remains that medical negligence can have devastating results.
