Hospital Negligence

Representing Houston-area Medical Malpractice Victims - An Attorney Who Will Fight For You

Patients should be treated in facilities that are properly maintained and hygienic. When hospital administrators fail to ensure that standards are met, it can result in unnecessary injury to patients and other people using their facilities.

Examples of hospital negligence:

• Delayed or improper administration of medication
• Administration of wrong medication
• Improper use of a medical device
• Unnecessary or unauthorized surgical procedure
• Misdiagnosis of heart attack, stroke or other serious medical condition while under hospital care
• Discharge from inpatient stay before it's safe for the patient to return home
• Decisions about care made as response to pressure by HMOs to save money

Hospital negligence can result from:

• Lack of communication
• Insufficiently trained hospital employees and staff
• Insufficient supervision
• Careless hospital employees and staff
• Failure to follow procedures and rules
