Medical Malpractice
and Patient Rights
 

USAction is fighting for better health care, and to protect your health and constitutional rights in cases of medical malpractice. 

When you go to the doctor to get well or to help heal an injury you expect that the treatment will put you on the road to recovery.  But what happens when you leave a doctor’s office or hospital worse-off than before?  What happens when a health care professional gets careless or makes a mistake that injures, cripples, or even maims you? 

Innocent patients hurt by medical errors or negligence have a constitutional right to their day in court and an opportunity to get on with their lives as much as possible. 

But the insurance industry and its allies in Congress want to take your rights away.  They want to limit your right to justice and maximize their profits by passing a new law that would block victims' access to the courts. 

Meanwhile, nothing is being done to lower health care costs, cut down on medical errors and negligence, or help medical providers obtain affordable insurance. 

USAction is committed to strengthening the voices of innocent patients and their families, and preserving their constitutional access to justice.
