Errors and Medical Negligence Can Have Disastrous Results
Hospitals and other care facilities rely heavily on registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) or nurses' aides for the majority of direct patient care. Doctors, residents and medical students stop in to see patients throughout the day, but it is the nursing staff that provides hands-on care. If a mistake is made in this critical role, patients can suffer catastrophic injury or wrongful death.

Examples of Negligence
Nursing negligence can be the result of many factors, including hospital negligence, poor credentialing procedures, lack of training or experience and understaffing. We can handle claims involving nursing errors such as:
- Errors in documentation and medical charts
- Medication errors
- Failure to monitor patients
- Failure to properly note a change in a patient's condition
- Failure to notify a physician
- Failure to follow a physician's orders

When nurses or other health care professionals provide substandard care, they may have committed medical malpractice. However, not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. It is best to discuss your claim with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
