Medical Malpractice

Racine, Wisconsin Medical Malpractice Attorney

Every day, month, and year, patients die or suffer serious injury as a result of medical negligence. The Institute of Medicine reports:

• Approximately 100,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical malpractice. That is more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS.
• 100 patients die in U.S. hospitals each day because of medical errors, not from their diseases.
• 1,000,000 are injured through preventable medical errors.
• Many researchers believe those numbers are actually understating the problem.*

At the Racine County law firm, Hanson & Gasiorkiewicz, S.C., attorney Eugene A. Gasiorkiewicz has the skill, the experience, and the commitment to see that families affected by medical malpractice recover maximum compensation for their losses.

Notable case : In a case that resulted in the largest settlement ever awarded in Racine County Circuit Court for medical malpractice, attorney Eugene A.
