Representing Hospital Patients Hurt by Medical Negligence

When admitted to a hospital, patients are in a position where they have to trust the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals to provide them with competent, professional care.

Types of Hospital Errors

We handle hospital error cases involving:

• Failure to inform: Medical professionals are required to inform patients of the exact nature and risks associated with a medical procedure.
• Emergency room errors: ER situations are often stressful and high-paced, leading to an increase in mistakes by doctors and surgeons.
• Anesthesia errors: Administering anesthesia requires precise dosage calculations and other precautions. The slightest error by an anesthesiologist can lead to serious illnesses and injuries.
• Misdiagnosis: Incorrectly diagnosing or failing to diagnose an injury or illness can lead to worse problems.
• Hospital-acquired infections: Patients may develop various infections in a hospital if hospital staff members fail to keep their instruments sterilized.
• Injuries occurring while in the hospital: If hospital staff members fail to respond to patients’ requests for help to the bathroom or act negligently when transporting patients, serious injuries can result.
