(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 07, 2010 ) Philadelphia, PA - LegalView announced today that more information regarding medical malpractice has been added to their medical malpractice section of their website. LegalView is a leading online legal resource site that provides information for persons seeking legal assistance. The information was updated after a recent study published by the Harvard School of Public Health outlined the $55.6 billion cost of medical malpractice negligence. The study also reveals that $45.6 billion of this total includes the cost of providers practicing defensive medicine.
Defensive medicine, according to MedicineNet.com, includes, "medical practices designed to avert the future possibility of malpractice suits". The researchers at Harvard University outlined how defensive medicine is a large contributor to health care errors and patient injuries that are typically avoidable. LegalView provides more information on medical malpractice lawsuits.
With nearly four-fifths of the total medical malpractice cost being comprised of defensive medicine costs, LegalView seeks to inform otherwise unaware patients who suffer injury or a loss as a result of a physician's mistake. The information added to the site gives sufferers information on what medical malpractice laws are, what medical malpractice is, how it happens, who is liable, and how compensation for negligence can be recovered.
Individuals who are suffering as a result of a physician's mistake should contact a medical malpractice lawyer to discuss his or her legal rights and potential lawsuits. LegalView provides resources and information and is sponsored by superior law firms with experience in medical malpractice lawsuits.
In addition to medical malpractice information, LegalView provides legal resources for unsafe drugs, birth injury law and other legal topics. Other topics include vehicle accident lawsuits, asbestos related mesothelioma cancer, and information portals regarding updates to medical treatments and laws surrounding related cases. Victims and their families should contact a LegalView representative today to learn more.
