Hospital Negligence
Hospitals sometimes injure patients staying or being treated in the hospital. Hospitals usually employ nurses, staff doctors known as hospitalists, emergency room doctors, orderlies, x-ray technicians, pharmacists, and other employees. When one of these hospital employees makes a mistake and injures a patient, the hospital can be liable for the injuries their employees or agents cause.
Common mistakes that can occur for which a hospital is liable include providing the wrong medication to the patient, failing to diagnose their condition, failing to provide the correct blood type when giving a blood transfusion, dropping the patient when transferring the patient, failure to monitor the patient, failure to diagnose a life threatening condition such as sepsis, meningitis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, as well as many others.
