Hospital Liability

Nearly 100,000 people die each year from mistakes made in hospitals; many more are injured.

 

This is only a partial list of the kinds of errors made in hospitals:

 

• Anesthesia errors

• Birth trauma

• Birth injury

• Failure to monitor patients

• Failure to notify your physician of changes in your condition

• Failure to respond to patient symptoms

• Hospital Infection

• Procedures done without consent

• Medication errors

• Surgery errors

 

If you think you may be the victim of hospital negligence or malpractice, it is very important to speak with an experienced hospital liability attorney as soon as possible to evaluate the details of your situation.
