How Common Are Preventable Medical Errors at Hospitals in New Jersey?

Far more common than anyone would like to think: approximately 440,000 people die nationwide in hospitals every year because of negligence and careless, yet preventable, medical mistakes made by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. This information comes from a new report published by the Journal of Patient Safety, which noted that one-sixth of all deaths in the United States every year can be blamed on hospital medical malpractice.

Even more frightening than these statistics is the information we don’t know about preventable medical mistakes. Only a fraction of hospitals properly report common errors such as wrong or delayed diagnosis, medication/drug mistakes, surgical and anesthesia errors and other incidents of medical malpractice. Based on the numbers we do have, experts say medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the US. Only heart disease and cancer lead to more fatalities in this country.

Medical mistakes made in hospitals by doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers occur for many reasons. These mistakes are often blamed on understaffing, a high ratio of lower-skilled nursing staff, lack of training and poor hospital policies that fail to provide clear-cut guidelines for hospital staff. Regardless of why you were injured in a hospital setting, if your accident was caused by the negligence or carelessness of a hospital employee, you may very well have a hospital malpractice case.

Repeatedly named New Jersey Super Lawyers by New Jersey Monthly magazine and Top Medical Malpractice and Civil Trial Lawyers by South Jersey Magazine, the lawyers at The Law Offices of Andres, Berger & Tran handle all types of hospital malpractice claims, including:

Surgical Errors: All surgeries involve some risk but when preventable surgical errors occur, the resulting injuries are often life altering and even fatal. “Never Events” are negligent acts that medical staff should never allow to happen. Some “never events” are wrong site surgery, wrong procedure performed, surgery performed on the wrong patient and leaving a piece of surgical equipment inside a patient. The Law Offices of Andres, Berger & Tran has collected millions of dollars for victims of surgical mistakes, including$2.4 million for a victim who died after a surgical error was made during her hysteroscopy and $1.3 million for a surgical error resulting in a patient’s wrongful death.

Anesthesia malpractice occurs when patients are not monitored during the procedure or anesthesia is improperly administered. When anesthesiologists or certified registered nurse anesthetists fail to recognize failing heart rates which are clearly monitored with sophisticated monitoring equipment as well as the failure to take to proper corrective measures to deal with failing heart rates, blood pressures or oxygenation problems brain damage, stroke, nerve damage or even death can result. The Law Offices of Andres, Berger & Tran have collected millions of dollars for victims of anesthesia malpractice including $9.25 million for anesthesia malpractice that resulted in the patient suffering brain damage and remaining in a persistent vegetative state., $7 million for anesthesia malpractice that resulted in severe, profound and irreversible brain damage for the 39-year-old victim and $2.9 million an anesthesia error resulting in nerve damage and paralysis for the victim.

Birth Injuries: If the prenatal care and delivery are not handled properly, a number of lifelong birth injuries and/or disabilities can occur to the mother and child. We fight hard for families impacted by hospital mistakes that result in birth injuries. We won $1.6 million for a family whose baby was left with brain damage and cerebral palsy because of a preventable mistake made during the delivery. In another birth injury case, we won $1.25 million for a family whose infant suffered multiple, permanent injuries during pregnancy and premature delivery.

Medication Errors in hospitals can result in adverse drug events or even be life threatening. The mistake can happen when the physician prescribes the wrong drug, when the incorrect medication is dispensed in the hospital pharmacy because of poor writing by the physician or look-alike/sound-alike drugs or when the wrong dosage or incorrect medication is administered to the patient Preventable medication errors occur daily resulting in patients often suffering catastrophic injuries.. The Law Offices of Andres, Berger & Tran fight hard for families impacted by medication errors; one result, we won $735,000 in a wrongful death case that was the result of a fatal overdose of Dilaudid administered in a hospital emergency department.

Wrong Diagnosis/Delayed Diagnosis/Failure to Diagnose by a doctor means failure to recognize a condition, the proper diagnostic tests aren’t ordered or the results of those scans are misinterpreted and, conditions can go untreated or inappropriately treated. In one recent case, our experienced hospital malpractice lawyers held doctors responsible for first misdiagnosing and subsequently failing to diagnose a lumbar hematoma that caused the patient severe nerve damage and paralysis. We collected $3,370,000 for that family.

In hospitals, there are so many common, preventable mistakes that cause severe injuries. If you or someone you love has suffered injuries from medication mistakes, developed an infection in a hospital, been the victim of an emergency room mistake had unnecessary treatments, tests and deadly procedures, or been injured because of malfunctioning medical devices, you deserve maximum compensation for your injuries.
