In this new 60 Minute Insider Exclusive Investigative Network TV Special, “AMERICA’S MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CRISIS – What You Need to Know”, our News Team visits with Bill Gilbert, Founder of the Gilbert Law Firm, P.S. and goes behind the headlines to see why as many as many as 440,000 patients die each year from preventable medical errors, which makes medical errors the third-leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease, which is first, and cancer, which is second.
These patients are not dying from the illnesses that caused them to seek hospital care in the first place. They are dying from mistakes that hospitals could have prevented.
The New England Journal of Medicine reported that 1% of physicians accounted for 32% of paid malpractice claims over the last 10 years. The ugly truth is that little is being done to hold these dangerous doctors accountable.

He has seen many innocent & hard-working people injured and killed by negligent and incompetent doctors, hospitals, and nurses…
Bill’s passion is Problem Solving ….He approaches each case as a scientist trying to solve a puzzle. He’s seen many patients suffer needless injury.
And because of that…..He is driven to help people who had been harmed by incompetent and negligent doctors. Bill’s goals….. to “get justice and fairness for injured people… safeguard victims’ rights… and to help guide the hands of justice.”
As he has so often has stated…..
‘Medical malpractice is also becoming a deserted wasteland for trial lawyers due to expense, caps, manipulation of the system, judicial influence, and the insurance industries orders to its insured physicians not to participate or cooperate.’
