Who Is Responsible For Hospital Errors?
Hospitals may be liable for patient injuries if employees neglect their duty of care. If you sought health care at a hospital and suffered injuries due to the negligence of a doctor, nurse or staff member, you may have a medical malpractice case.
What Are The Most Common Hospital Errors?
We have seen many different cases of injuries due to hospital errors throughout the state of Iowa, including:
- Anesthesia errors: This includes errors like administering the wrong dosage and failing to review the patient’s medical history.
- Surgical errors: Hospital surgeons are responsible for many different types of surgeries, and errors can arise from fatigue, miscommunication and more.
- Birth injuries: Negligence at any time during the birth of a child can lead to errors with catastrophic consequences for infants and their families.
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: Misdiagnosing or failing to diagnose the correct condition can lead to unnecessary treatments or surgeries, as well as delayed treatments.
- Emergency room errors: ERs are fast-paced environments where errors in treatments or administering medication can be devastating.
If hospital errors and negligence from doctors and medical staff led to your injuries, then you deserve maximum compensation.
