According to a Washington non-profit group, Public Citizen, the New Jersey Medical Examiners board ranks low on taking action against negligent physicians.
According to a report, New Jersey was found to be ranked 40th out of the 50 states on how they sanction their doctors. Out of 1,107 complaints the board received only 24 resulted in license revocation and 45 resulted in temporary suspensions.
Therefore, the board threw out almost 93 percent of all cases. Fourteen doctors, one nurse, one accountant and three members of the public make up that board.
If you have been the victim of medical negligence, contact the New Jersey medical negligence lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. by calling 800-346-5529.
