Representing Hospital Negligence Victims — An Attorney Who Will Fight For You
Administrators at hospitals must make sure that patients receive treatment in a properly maintained and hygienic facility. When they fail to satisfy this responsibility, patients and other individuals using their facilities face a heightened risk of unnecessary injury. Unfortunately, injury as a result of hospital negligence is not uncommon. Patients in hospitals may be harmed as a result of the negligence of doctors, nurses, orderlies, facility administrators and management, nurse aides, and other parties such as in-house pharmacies.
Hospital negligence may result in birth injuries or surgical mistakes. The negligence may occur on any level, from doctors treating patients to orderlies who may be moving patients from one room to another.

Hospital negligence can result from:
- Insufficient supervision
- Lack of communication
- Failure to follow procedures and rules
- Insufficiently trained hospital employees and staff
- Careless hospital employees and staff
The following are examples of hospital negligence:
- Unnecessary or unauthorized surgical procedure
- Delayed or improper administration of medication
- Improper use of a medical device
- Administration of wrong medication
- Discharge from inpatient stay before it's safe for the patient to return home
- Decisions about care made as response to pressure by HMOs to save money
- Misdiagnosis of heart attack, stroke or other serious medical condition while under hospital care
Do not delay seeking qualified legal assistance. The statute of limitations restricts the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit and may jeopardize your legal rights. In most cases, you have two years from the time of the accident to initiate a legal action. It's important to take action sooner than later while witnesses' memories are fresh and evidence remains intact.
