Is a Hospital Ever Guilty of Medical Malpractice?

 

A: If you have been injured due to improper medical attention that was administered by a hospital, then YES, that hospital may be liable in a medical malpractice claim. 

Hospital medical malpractice may be any form of medical negligence that happens within a hospital by a member of its staff. To file a medical malpractice claim against a hospital in Illinois, you should seek the professional help of an Aurora medical malpractice attorney.

Some examples of hospital medical malpractice may include: 

• Bed infections;
• The improper administration of anesthesia;
• The worsening of a medical condition (or death) as a result of failure to properly diagnose an illness;
• Improper prescription of medication;
• Unnecessary surgical procedures;
• Failure to stabilize a patient; and
• Failure to order the proper tests. 

Each patient's case is unique, and therefore the outcome of a claim can never be predicted. In a hospital medical malpractice lawsuit, you may claim damages for medical expenses, any pain and suffering, as well as your loss of income.

To know whether you have a valid hospital medical malpractice claim, you can consult an experienced Aurora medical malpractice attorney. An attorney can help estimate the value of your claim and file your medical malpractice case.
