Hospital Negligence Lawsuit in Death of Glenn Frey
It is easy to assume that fame and money pave the way for better medical care. That is not necessarily so, as shown by a lawsuit for medical errors and hospital negligence filed by the widow of Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles, an American rock band.
In the suit, both the hospital and Mr. Frey’s physician are accused of negligence and failing to properly treat and diagnose the musician. He passed away due to complications of rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia. Unspecified damages are being sought for pain and suffering, wrongful death, and the loss of services of a spouse.
Researchers have recently revealed that preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of fatality in the United States. The statistics are shocking:
- One in three patients admitted to a hospital will experience a medical error
- Every year, 440,000 patients suffer fatal injuries due to preventable medical errors
- Studies have shown that wrong site, wrong surgery, and wrong patient procedures happen up to 40 times a week in United States hospitals
- Preventable medical errors cost this country billions of dollars every year
