Hospital negligence comes in many forms. Before contacting our experienced medical malpractice law firm regarding a potential case, consider the following types of medical errors and oversights that may constitute grounds for legal action:

• Misdiagnosis - Failure to properly diagnose a condition based on symptoms and testing
• Delayed diagnosis - Not diagnosing in a timely manner when testing indicated a health issue
• Surgical mistakes - Errors during surgery leading to damage of internal organs, vessels and nerves
• Medication errors - Prescribing the wrong drug or incorrect dosage
• Anesthesia errors - Mistakes by an anesthesiologist resulting in brain damage or death
• Premature discharge - Releasing a patient from care before their condition was stable
• Failure to monitor - Not observing unstable vital signs closely enough
• Use of defective medical devices - Allowing use of equipment later subject to recall

These are just some examples of potential acts of negligence by healthcare professionals. When this behavior directly causes a patient additional harm, malpractice may have occurred. You do not need to determine whether or not obvious malpractice took place though.

Our medical malpractice lawyers conduct a thorough investigation based on what happened during your care at the hands of local doctors and hospitals. We utilize independent medical experts to provide opinions on what should have been done differently to identify if improper techniques or lack of skill caused your suffering.

When investigating hospital negligence, our lawyers analyze:

• The healthcare provider's credentials, training and experience
• Standards established for diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, surgery prep and procedure
• Whether more qualified staff should have been brought in for better expertise on the case
• If the medical facility was properly equipped for the situation
• What caused mistakes or oversights during care
• The exact impact of this malpractice on health and wellbeing

We gather medical records, test results, hospital incident reports and detailed accounts of what happened during each step of the care process. Our goal is building a strong argument surrounding whether acts or omissions by staff increased suffering.

Hospital negligence can devastate not just health, but family finances and quality of life for years to come. Successful verdicts and settlements in medical malpractice claims account for extensive damages victims suffer.
