Overview of Hospital Malpractice (Part A)

A medical malpractice claim can be filed if a physician or other medical professional commits medical negligence that leads to injuries or the death of a patient. While some medical malpractice claims are based on the actions of a single medical professional alone, there are circumstances where a hospital is liable for the medical malpractice that occurred within their walls.

Sometimes hospital medical negligence results from just 1 staff member; however, it can also be the result of more than 1 medical professional. Some of the medical professionals who may be responsible for medical negligence in a hospital include: 

  • Doctors
  • Surgeons
  • Nurses
  • Technicians
  • Any other hospital staff member

Contact a Chicago medical malpractice attorney if you have been the victim of medical negligence in a Chicago hospital to discuss your potential case.

 

Compensation from a Hospital Malpractice Lawsuit

If you are the victim of hospital medical malpractice, you may have suffered physical, emotional and financial trauma. You may also be eligible to recover compensation due to these damages. Some types of compensation that you may recover in a hospital malpractice lawsuit include: 

  • Medical costs (present and future)
  • Lost wages (present and future)
  • Therapy (emotional or physical) 

Assessing damages for pain and suffering in a hospital malpractice claim may be difficult, so you need a qualified medical malpractice lawyer in Chicago to investigate your claim. An attorney will help you to gather the evidence you need to prove a hospital malpractice.

A variety of factors can help determine the amount of damages for pain and suffering such as: 

  • Any pre-existing injuries;
  • Whether or not the injuries altered your normal or daily activities;
  • Victim’s job;
  • Age of the victim and
  • Victim’s income.
