Harrisburg Wrongful Death Lawyer

Losing a loved one under any circumstances is a devastating experience. So much of one’s life is built on and around the presence and unique contributions of his or her closest family and friends that a world without them seems strikingly unfamiliar. Yet as difficult as this is to experience under any circumstances, it is somehow worse when the wrongful death of a loved one is the result of medical malpractice.

The very role and purpose of physicians, nurses, and the healthcare system in our society is to preserve, restore, and protect the health of patients who require the lifesaving treatments that they can provide. They receive extensive training and are required to uphold strict ethical and professional standards as a direct social acknowledgment that the work they do is critical and must be performed properly.

Despite that clearly established responsibility and expectation of care, an extraordinary number of patients are killed each year by preventable medical errors. Though estimates vary, many indicate that the total medical malpractice fatalities in the United States alone exceed 100,000 annually. That is a shocking figure, and one that should not exist.

The Harrisburg medical malpractice wrongful death attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., are committed to helping the families of those senselessly lost to such an avoidable tragedy. There are many expenses associated with end-of-life arrangements, let alone the loss of present and future income and companionship, and those burdens should not be yours to carry.
