What Is Hospital Malpractice?

Hospitals and other health care facilities are liable for injuries arising from the negligence of professionals like nurses, technicians, administrators or on-staff physicians. Hospital negligence can take many forms, including:

  • Lab errors
  • Inadequate staffing
  • Emergency room errors
  • Improper chart documentation
  • Not performing thorough background checks prior to hiring medical professionals
  • Administrative mistakes impacting patient care
  • Nurses exceeding their medical authority
  • Staff failure to adhere to hospital policy

From mismanagement of records to surgical errors, there are countless ways hospital malpractice may occur. However, all instances have one thing in common: negligence. There is no excuse for carelessness in a hospital setting. When these mistakes do happen, it is critical that medical facilities are held responsible for any resulting injuries.
