Springfield Hospital Negligence Lawyers
Hospitals are places of treatment and healing, and doctors and other medical professionals make treatment and recovery possible for many people. While most medical professionals and establishments fulfill their duty to provide reasonable care, there are unfortunately some that fall short. When carelessness, lack of skill, or administrative errors lead a patient to suffer serious preventable harm, the victim has a legal right to pursue compensation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Missouri?Every state has a time limit for how long you have to file a personal injury claim called the statute of limitations. In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is five years from the date the injury occurred or could have been reasonably discovered. If you fail to file your personal injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires then the defendant will most certainly file a motion to dismiss the case.

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.
