Malpractice is when a doctor, medical professional, hospital, or caregiving facility fails to adhere to the standard of care. For malpractice, the professional must not have fulfilled their role or duty in their employed capacity. Time is of the essence when filing suit, as there is a short window to do so. If you believe you have a case, reach out immediately.
Unlike malpractice, negligence is when an individual failure to act as a reasonable person would, but in this case, the perpetrator is not a professional.
Some hospitals have a history of making mistakes that rise to the level of negligence. Laws are in place to protect patients who receive substandard care. A hospital that employs doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical technicians, and other employees can be sued if the patient is subject to an injury because of negligence. You may be entitled to compensation if you have suffered harm because of a hospital’s negligence.
