What is Hospital Negligence and How is it Medical Malpractice?

Doctors and nurses are not the only healthcare professionals against whom a medical malpractice claim can be filed; hospitals and healthcare facilities can also contribute to a patient’s lasting injuries.

Ways in which hospitals and healthcare facilities can be held liable for you or your loved one’s injuries include (but are not limited to):

• Lack of adequate training and licensure for staff of all levels
• Not properly credentialing independent contractors, like attending physicians
• Failing to keep proper and complete medical records
• Not having adequate staffing to ensure proper care
• Negligence of its employees including nurses, doctors, EMTs, medical technicians
