Hospital negligence occurs when an employee or agent of a medical facility deviates from the professional standard of care owed to the patient by the facility, and the patient suffers injury or death as a result of that deviation.
It is common for corners to be cut and standards to be ignored in Indiana hospitals. Unfortunately, negligent acts and omissions by medical professionals and hospital administrators can be deadly. Over 400,000 deaths in the United States are linked to negligence that occurs in medical facilities. The number of non-fatal medical mistakes that cause serious injuries is even more alarming.
Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the United States, surpassing strokes, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) reports that one in seven Medicare patients in hospitals are injured by medical errors. There are various reasons that hospital errors are common.
Filing a claim against a hospital or other medical facility in conjunction with the negligent healthcare professional can help relieve you of the financial burdens you are facing because of your injuries. An injury settlement or jury award can help you pay for medical bills, replace your lost income, and compensate you for the pain, suffering, mental anguish, and inconvenience that you would not have endured but for the hospital’s negligence.
The following elements must exist for your hospital negligence claim to be viable, however.
Your hospital errors attorney will need to prove that a patient-provider relationship existed when the injury occurred, and that the medical professional or facility owed a duty to provide you with the standard of care expected of a competent medical provider faced with the same or similar circumstances.
The healthcare professional, hospital, pharmaceutical company, or device manufacturer must have deviated from the standard of care expected through negligent acts or omissions. Examples include misdiagnosing cancer, failing to monitor you after surgery, or failing to inform you about the risks involved with a medication or procedure.
A link must exist between the medical provider’s negligence and your injuries. A hospital cannot be held liable for damages just because an error occurred and a patient suffered injuries. The negligent act or omission must have played a role in causing injuries to the patient.
You must have suffered significant harm because of the medical care provider’s negligent act or omission. If a doctor made a mistake that could have caused you harm but didn’t, he or she and the hospital cannot be held liable because there are no damages to recover. Your hospital errors attorney may use medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to prove you suffered harm.
