Hospitals are places of treatment and healing, and doctors and other medical professionals make treatment and recovery possible for many people.

Types of Hospital Negligence
Hospitals often treat a large number of people at once. As such, errors may occur because of logistical difficulties. Sometimes, medical mistakes are the result of negligent hiring, in which the hospital hires an unqualified doctor. Neither of these, however, are acceptable justifications for the injury of a patient.
The most common forms of hospital negligence are:
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Delayed or wrong treatment
- Patient misidentification
- Contamination or unsanitary conditions
- Failure to monitor patient status
Each of these acts of negligence may cause a patient to suffer further injury or harm. In some cases, diseases may be allowed to progress to untreatable states, while in others patients may suffer from fatal side effects that go unnoticed, such as internal bleeding or cardiac arrest. Our firm works hard to ensure that hospitals and doctors are held responsible for their negligent actions or inactions and that victims and their families are properly compensated for all they have endured.
