There are a variety of reasons why patients do not recover any compensation for injuries suffered while receiving medical care. Most of these issues stem from general misconceptions about medical malpractice. It is important for potential malpractice victims t

Improper diagnoses and negligent supervision of trainees are other common errors, and both have led to disastrous results in many cases.

Also troubling is why physicians have not banded together to open competing insurance companies in order to obtain reduced rates.
