Hospital Malpractice Attorneys In St. Paul

When a hospital patient is injured or dies under questionable circumstances, it is reasonable to look at all possible causes. Unforeseen natural causes can, of course, trigger a worsening of a person’s medical status or death in a hospital, nursing home or other type of care facility. All too often, however, investigations reveal that human error was to blame.

Caregivers with responsibility for protecting and saving lives often put them at risk through negligent actions or omissions. Medical mistakes can have devastating consequences when patients are at their most vulnerable (such as during surgery or during an emergency room visit).

A detailed investigation can help uncover the true cause of an injury or death in a hospital setting, such as:

• Medical malpractice, including medication errors and surgical errors
• Nursing malpractice, such as failing to take note of critical information in patients’ charts, failing to prevent or report and treat bed sores, or faulty administration of medications
• Hospital negligence

A hospital is not only a building. It is a collection of interacting systems. Anesthesia departments, nursing supervision, surgical wards, emergency rooms and hospital pharmacies are all common features of hospitals. Hospital malpractice or negligence can consist of:

• Lack of supervision of staff
• Poor maintenance of equipment
• Understaffing (especially common on holidays, weekends and night shifts)
• Communication gaps (a common outcome when rotations of resident physicians and interns lose the valuable continuity of steady contact with one personal physician)

Dangerous side effects of drug interactions and injuries from patient falls are examples of serious consequences of hospital malpractice. An injury claim or wrongful death claim against a hospital is a way for a patient and his or her family to recover compensation needed for further medical bills and related losses such as funeral and burial costs or lost wage replacement.
