Medical Malpractice Deaths

Did you know that more than 200,000 people die every year due to preventable medical errors?

Doctors and hospitals are where we turn to in our time of greatest need. But when your loved one dies from medical malpractice, your outlook can change in a moment.

Often, family members of the deceased feel as if they are not being told the truth. The medical providers who had previously been reassuring and communicative suddenly stop talking or refuse to explain what happened. Instead, they look to protect themselves from the legal and financial consequences of a wrongful death that occurred under their care.

At Mazow | McCullough, PC, our goal is to provide Massachusetts and New Hampshire families with compassionate, caring legal representation when they need it most.

If you have lost a family member due to medical malpractice, we’re here for you.

Massachusetts Medical Malpractice Deaths and the Law

A wrongful death due to medical malpractice happens when a hospital, doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional fails to meet the acceptable standard of care and that failure directly causes a patient’s death. Furthermore, the death would not have occurred if the provider had not been negligent.

Consequences of a Wrongful Death After Medical Negligence
