Wrongful Deaths Occur Each Year from Improper Treatment During Heart Surgeries, According to Miami-Dade Attorney Steven Slootsky

Fort Lauderdale-based personal injury attorney notes that experienced legal counsel can help families obtain compensation for their loss and hold responsible parties liable.

Losing a loved one because of the negligence of another often causes questions to arise about what happened, who is responsible and whether precautions were being following that would have prevented the tragedy

Fort Lauderdale, FL (Lexis Nexis/PRWEB ) April 30, 2008 -- Most Americans are aware that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, but many do not know that a significant number of deaths result each year from improper treatment either before, during or after a major heart surgery. In some cases, physician error is the chief cause of heart-related deaths.

"Losing a loved one because of the negligence of another often causes questions to arise about what happened, who is responsible and whether precautions were being following that would have prevented the tragedy," said Florida personal injury attorney Steven E. Slootsky.

Open heart surgery is particularly tenuous for babies and small children. Doctors cannot be too careful in taking necessary (and even unnecessary) precautions when treating little ones.

According to statistics from the Center for Disease Control, there are more than 650,000 deaths each year due to heart disease, heart surgery and heart attacks; heart disease ranks as public health enemy number one.

Wrongful death is a claim in common law jurisdictions against a person who can be held liable for a death. Though a wrongful death lawsuit can't bring the person you love back, the attorneys of the Slootsky law firm can help you get compensation for your loss and ensure that the responsible party is held liable for his or her actions.
