Accountability for Medical Malpractice in Boston, MA
Standing Up for Victims of Medical Negligence
Every year, thousands of individuals suffer serious, permanent injuries—or even death—due to medical mistakes. Alarmingly, the vast majority of these errors go unreported and uncompensated. Why? The reasons are complex but often boil down to misinformation and misconceptions:
- Misunderstood Incidents: Many cases of medical negligence are mistakenly written off as “unfortunate medical outcomes” rather than clear instances of provider error. Patients are often led to believe that “things just happen,” leaving them feeling powerless to seek accountability.
- Insurance Industry Propaganda: Powerful insurance companies have perpetuated myths about a “medical malpractice crisis” and an explosion of “frivolous lawsuits.” Independent studies have disproved these claims, showing that the number of medical negligence cases and jury verdicts for patients has decreased over time. Meanwhile, insurance premiums continue to rise, with the blame shifted away from the real culprits—insurance companies—and onto injured patients and their advocates.
- Trust in Physicians: Many patients hesitate to question their medical providers, believing that doing so would mean they made a mistake in choosing their care. But remember: if a healthcare provider’s negligence causes harm, it is not the patient’s fault.
Recognizing medical malpractice requires courage and a clear understanding that healthcare professionals, like anyone else, must be held accountable when their mistakes cause harm.
