Examples Of Hospital Negligence
Administrative personnel, nursing staff, and other professionals employed by hospitals have an obligation to provide a reasonable level of care. This may include maintaining clean and safe hospital grounds, conducting background checks on potential employees, and disciplining independent contractor surgeons or doctors. If hospitals fail in this obligation and a patient is injured or loses his or her life as a result, that patient (or the patient’s family) may be able to take legal action. Hospital negligence can occur for a variety of reasons:
- Understaffing
- Violations of shift duration policies (fatigued staff)
- Nursing mistakes and malpractice
- Emergency room errors
- Defective or poorly maintained hospital equipment
- Hazards present on hospital grounds
- Wrongful discharge of a patient
- Delayed treatment of an illness or injury
- Negligent hiring, disciplinary, or termination practices
