Arizona Attorneys Protecting Patient Healthcare Rights
According to the most recent annual Patient Safety in American Hospitals Study, patient safety errors resulted in 238,337 potentially preventable deaths of Medicare patients in the years 2004 - 2006. At Harris Powers & Cunningham, in Phoenix, Arizona, we are dedicated to protecting patient's healthcare rights by educating them about just how common medical malpractice has become.
Doctors are overworked. Especially in settings like busy emergency rooms, they are forced to rush from one patient to another. This is because hospitals and large HMOs often cut corners. They focus on making money instead of actually providing the best possible treatment that people need and deserve.
There are several Arizona hospitals that have repeatedly been sued for serious medical errors. These Arizona healthcare facilities are often known for the poor conditions and negligent doctors. At Harris Powers & Cunningham, we do not hesitate to hold them accountable for the harm they cause:
- Havasu Regional
- Yavapai Regional
- Chandler Regional
- Catholic Healthcare West hospitals, like St. Josephs
- Banner Hospitals
The most common types of medical errors are bed sores, failure to rescue and post-operative respiratory failure. And these are 43% more likely to happen at the worst hospitals than at the best, according to the Safety in American Hospitals Study.
