Hospital malpractice is the medical negligence of a doctor, nurse, or another member of the hospital staff when caring for a patient. Our firm's medical malpractice attorneys have represented hundreds of hospital patients who did not receive proper and timely medical care during their hospitalization and were hurt by nursing or medical malpractice.

Perhaps our lawyers can be of some help to you by answering questions concerning what constitutes a hospital malpractice claim by providing you with some information.

A hospital has a duty to use reasonable care in hiring and supervising its employees, including doctors, interns, residents, and such non-physician personnel as nurses, technicians, and aides. A doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider at a hospital commits medical malpractice or negligence by failing to adhere to the standards of care set by the industry. Just as in other situations and settings, physicians, nurses, and healthcare providers have a responsibility to conduct their practice of medicine in conformity with hospital protocol and state regulations.

When a patient acquires a greater injury or disability than before medical treatment, there is a possibility that medical malpractice was the cause. There are no guarantees that a physician can make a person's medical condition better or cure it. To determine whether or not you have a medical malpractice case, consult with our lawyers.

An experienced attorney will supervise a focused interview of you and other witnesses to your medical care and treatment, answer questions you may have concerning general matters and then decide whether investigation is warranted, resulting in obtaining the patient's medical/hospital records.

Upon receiving the records, the prosecution will index, read, and analyze the information recorded. Although medical malpractice and the events related to it are not often recorded in the records, the review of the records is mandatory.
