A recent study by Healthgrades found that a significant number of deaths in hospitals were due to preventable medical errors. In a 2006 study by the National Academy of Science, researchers found that one of the most common preventable medical errors are medication errors, which harm 1.5 million people every year. However, there are many different types of Medical Malpractice cases including improper diagnosis, failure to diagnose, medication errors, surgical errors, unsanitary medical instruments, failure to advise of a diagnosis, lack of informed consent or improperly prescribing a drug.
