Medical malpractice can be claimed when a doctor, health care professional, hospital, or other facility falls short in caring for a patient within accepted medical standards and, as a result, the person is injured, becomes ill, or a condition worsens.

A hospital or medical professional is negligent when they fall short of providing reasonable care. Care is assessed by what a “reasonable person” would have provided under the same circumstances. Negligence cases can be brought when the care provided has resulted in the patient being injured due to negligence, carelessness, or reckless actions of their staff.

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 their negligence. If you have suffered harm because of a hospital’s negligence you may be entitled to compensation.
