Statistics show that medical errors happen far more often than you think. In 2018, a Johns Hopkins study found that approximately 250,000 people each year die from medical mistakes. Other studies place that number as high as 440,000. The truth is that we cannot even get an accurate number of how many people die from these mistakes each year because of the way that death certificates report fatalities.
These are just the people who are killed by medical mistakes each year. The number of injuries is far higher. Many of these people have suffered injuries that will completely reduce the quality of their lives. We may never know how many people are injured each year by medical malpractice. All that you know is your injury, which is everything in the world to you and your family.
