Medical malpractice mistakes account for more deaths per year in the United States than from all highway deaths. Medical mistakes are the eighth leading cause of wrongful death in the U.S. Medical malpractice can include misdiagnosis of (or failure to diagnose) a disease such as cancer, prescription errors, mistakes during delivery of a baby, and surgical mistakes.

It should be noted that a bad result does not necessarily mean that malpractice occurred. Most physicians excercise extreme care and rarely make mistakes. Unfortunately, when a mistake does occur, it can be very serious.
