Hospital Medical Errors
Hospital medical errors in providing patient care are common and may lead to significant patient harms. The errors may necessitate the need for additional or more prolonged care. They may result in permanent medical injuries or in some instances death. Unfairly, the costs of these errors are often the financial responsibility of the injured patient. Families of the injured patients may also suffer significant long term financial and emotional consequences. If the hospital medical error is not ‘discovered’ or ‘disclosed’, the injured patient unfairly pays for the hospital mistake! Consultation with an attorney is advisable if there is a suspected medical error injury.
