Hospital negligence occurs when a hospital employee injures a patient through a negligent act, error, or omission. When a mistake is made by the hospital that rises to the level of negligence, the patient who suffers harm as a result of this mistake has the legal right to receive compensation for any injuries that they may have suffered due to the error.
In some cases, the hospital may be held liable for injuries to a patient in a
medical malpractice
case. However, determining whether the hospital is ultimately responsible can be a difficult task, and should not be attempted without the assistance of a skilled and experienced medical malpractice attorney.
Medical malpractice laws are put in place to protect the legal rights of the patients who have been given substandard medical care. If you were injured and believe it was the result of a hospital employee's negligence, your first step should be to contact the Johnny F. Driggers Law Firm.
Medical Malpractice is a serious offense, and you should not have to suffer further when you're injured because of someone else's careless or negligent actions. Hiring an attorney to help with your case will ensure that you obtain the benefits that you are owed during this very difficult time.
