What Is Hospital Negligence?

Patients deserve to be treated in clean hospitals run by attentive staff. If you’ve been injured by the actions, errors, or omissions of a hospital’s administrative, medical, or attendant staff, you may have the grounds to file a medical malpractice claim. Of course, this is only so long as the hospital employee was performing a job-related action at the time of your injury.

Examples of hospital negligence include, but are not limited to:

  • Misreading or ignoring laboratory results
  • Failure to provide medical assistance
  • Improper medication or dosage
  • Poor aftercare
  • Premature discharge
  • Mishandling or dropping a patient
  • Injuring a patient by using faulty or broken equipment

For your lawsuit to be successful, your legal team needs to prove 3 essential facts: the hospital employee violated the standard of care, you were injured by the employee’s negligence, and you suffered significant physical and financial damages as a result of the employee’s mistake.

A positive case result may yield the following damages:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Loss of income
  • Loss of earning potential
  • Long-term professional caregiving fees
  • Non-economic damages

In Maryland, a plaintiff has five years to file a medical malpractice claim. If you pass the statute of limitations, the court may refuse to hear your case. Of course, there are exceptions and nuances to this law, including the discovery rule, so it’s important to discuss your case with a legal representative as soon as possible.
