Hospital malpractice refers to negligent care provided by hospital staff, such as doctors, nurses, and other employees. It can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, childbirth injuries, or complications caused by unsanitary conditions and unmaintained equipment. Hospitals are costly, and many people trust them with their lives. When they fail to properly screen and supervise their employees or adequately maintain their facilities, it results in serious injury or even death.

Hospital malpractice refers to negligent medical care provided by doctors, nurses, technicians, or other hospital staff that causes catastrophic patient injury or death. This can involve the following:
Victims can suffer immensely through traumatic outcomes like paralysis, loss of limbs, or organ damage, along with facing additional painful procedures. The personal and financial toll extends to the victims' families as well, who may have to care for them long-term due to permanent injury or, even worse, suffer the pain of their loved one's death.
While the more frequently used term is 'medical malpractice' and is commonly understood to be an action against negligent doctors, hospitals can also be held liable for the actions or inactions of their employees that result in injuries and damages. If you or a loved one have suffered from negligent hospital staff or poor hospital management practices, the experienced personal injury lawyers at the Porter Law Group can help you seek justice.

There is a complex web of technicalities involved in suing hospitals for negligence. For medical malpractice claims like misdiagnosis or surgical errors, for example, it is necessary to establish the following:
Doctors, Pharmacists, and Nurses have a professional duty to ensure that no further harm comes to the patients in their care. Failure to do this can be grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. And if they work for a hospital, you may also have a claim against the institution through the doctrine of vicarious liability or employer liability.
For negligent hiring and supervision claims, hiring standards involving license requirements for doctors, nurses, technicians, and staff must be complied with before these employees can be allowed to work with patients. Injuries caused by unqualified personnel can also open hospitals to liability.
For premises liability claims, if a hospital is found to have failed to maintain sanitary and safe conditions for patients, which results in injuries and further harm, they could also be held liable and may be sued for damages. Trips and falls are devastating for vulnerable patients, and hospital infections can be deadly for immunocompromised people. Hospitals have a heightened duty of care and must comply with the minimum standards set by New York Regulation 405 and other guidance issued by the Department of Health during regular inspections.
