According to a recent study by the Institute of Medicine, medical errors account for nearly 100,000 wrongful deaths annually.

Hospital / ER Mistakes
At every stage of a patient's hospital visit, there is the potential for hospital error. Each and every healthcare provider must be diligent and careful to ensure a patient's visit is error-free. Unfortunately, hospitals and emergency rooms are often busy or short-staffed. This creates an environment conducive to medical negligence.
One of the most common hospital or emergency room mistakes involves medication or pharmaceutical errors. Medication errors may occur when administrating, prescribing, or monitoring pharmaceuticals. Additionally, our attorneys litigate claims as a result of:
- Hospital acquired infections
- Poor communication among the medical staff
- Improper drug administration
- Failure to obtain adequate patient information (regarding allergies, other medications, etc.)
Misdiagnosis
The Institute of Medicine reports that approximately one million Americans are injured each year as the result of medical misdiagnoses. Commonly associated with inexperienced clinicians, new procedures, improper documentation, or poor communication, medical misdiagnosis leads to delayed, omitted, or inappropriate medical treatments.
When a serious, life-threatening condition such as a heart attack is misdiagnosed, devastating consequences can result. For example, because heart attack symptoms are often similar to a number of common non-life-threatening conditions, medical professionals may not realize the severity of the situation and fail to diagnose the patient’s medical problem.
Contact Ingram│Wilkinson if you have been injured and would like to speak with an experienced medical negligence lawyer. Serving victims throughout the Hattiesburg and Jackson, Mississippi areas, we can help you obtain the compensation to which you are entitled.
Surgical Injury
Though all surgeries carry a certain degree of risk, sometimes preventable errors occur. Our medical malpractice attorneys represent individuals who have suffered a surgical injury due to the negligence of a medical professional. Common surgical mistakes that may result in a favorable medical negligence verdict include:
- Wrong-patient mistakes
- Wrong-site mistakes
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Wrong blood type transfusions
- Infections caused by surgery
- Surgical instruments left inside a patient’s body
