Nursing & Hospital Staff Errors

It is a distressing fact that negligence and carelessness on the part of nurses and hospital staff can seriously harm patients. These mistakes and violations of accepted medical protocol can result in additional injuries, advanced illness, and even death.

Examples of negligence by nursing and hospital staff can include but are not limited to:

• Failure to monitor patients
• Administration of the wrong medication, wrong dosage, or wrong medication pathway
• Mixed-drug intoxication
• Pharmacy errors
• Failure to recognize complications from procedures or medication
• Failure to keep adequate and thorough patient records
• Communication failures between various staff
• Emergency room mistakes
• Failure to diagnose
• Delayed diagnosis
• Misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Birth injuries
• Hospital infections
• Failure to properly instruct patients

Negligence such as the above can cause life-threatening conditions and results. Compensation in successful claims and lawsuits can involve enormous sums to cover medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and more.
