Who Benefits from Medical Malpractice Litigation?

While the purpose of malpractice lawsuits is to award financial compensation to injured parties, there is another benefit: When errors are exposed, hospitals and other medical facilities are forced to recognize these problems and make necessary changes. With new policies in place, everyone is safer. Lawsuits brought by Friedman, Domiano & Smith have led to the creation of in-house training programs and systems for preventing error, as well as greater surgeon awareness of potential surgical problems. If you decide to proceed with a lawsuit, you may be helping others by compelling hospitals to make needed policy changes.
