Kentucky Medical Malpractice Law and Attorneys in Louisville

Most of us trust that pharmacists, surgeons, physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals will adhere to the strictest standards of professionalism and safety when providing medical care. And in most cases, this assumption is well founded. But unfortunately, there are some alarming statistics that attest otherwise. According to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), up to 98,000 Americans die each year as the result of medical malpractice; thousands more are injured. At our Louisville, Kentucky practice, medical malpractice claims can include, but are not limited to prescription errors, surgical mistakes, nursing home elder abuse, birth defects, improper diagnosis, poor X-rays and other dangerous mistakes.

In Kentucky, medical malpractice most simply means that a healthcare provider acted with negligence when treating a patient, which resulted in new or exacerbated injury to the patient. Only a small percentage of doctors actually face legal repercussions for medical malpractice due to the complex nature of most cases. If you have been a victim of medical malpractice, or think you may be, it is important that you act quickly to contact one of our Kentucky medical malpractice attorneys in Louisville before the statute of limitations expires on your case. Kentucky medical malpractice law requires that all suits be filed within a year from the point at which the injury was or should have reasonably been discovered.
