Experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error.
Every year there are roughly between 15,000 to 19,000 medical malpractice law suits filed in the Unites States.
At the end of a trial 80% of all medical malpractice lawsuits result in either no payment or a judgment.
An expert asset investigator will identify the assets of the physician and or medical facility responsible for the damages that have been caused.
The asset investigators are able to identify bank accounts, money markets, certificates of deposits, brokerage accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, 401K, IRA, real property, motor vehicles, aircraft, vessels, and safety deposit boxes.
