Hospital Negligence

When we are in the hospital, we hope that we are in safe hands and in “the best place” to receive the treatment we need. 

Unfortunately, negligence by hospital staff can occur in a wide variety of circumstances. This can lead to a patient sustaining further illness or injury.

Hospital negligence claims

Examples of hospital negligence include:

  • Accidents taking place in a hospital – For instance, a patient falling out of bed and sustaining injuries.
  • Incorrect diagnosis – For example, an Accident & Emergency Department failing to diagnose a fracture, or if there is a delay in the hospital correctly diagnosing a patient’s illness.
  • Poor nursing care – For example, failing to turn an immobile patient regularly which could lead to them developing pressure sores.
  • Drug errors – For example, a patient being given medication to which they have a known allergy.
  • Errors during surgery – For instance, when surgical equipment is left inside a patient’s body or when the implant in a joint replacement operation, such as a hip or knee, is inserted incorrectly.
  • Anaesthetic errors – For instance, a patient waking up and falling off the operating table.
