Philadelphia Hospital Negligence Attorneys

When members of the public or their loved ones spend time in a hospital, they trust that the medical staff will act in a responsible and professional manner. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. When doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel do not perform their duties as expected, their negligence can result in serious injuries, prolonged hospital stays and even death. If you have suffered harm because of the mistakes or inattention of hospital staff, the attorneys at Cherry Injury Law, can help.

What Constitutes Hospital Negligence?

In some cases, the hospital staff member causes intentional harm to a patient. In others, the harm is unintentional. However, the person who caused the harm may still be liable if he or she neglected to perform the duties of the job in a reasonable manner and that neglect caused injury to a patient. Here are some examples of actions considered negligent:

  • Failing to properly sterilize equipment or using improper equipment
  • Giving a patient medication he or she was not prescribed or administering prescribed medication in the wrong amount
  • Failing to keep proper reports and records
  • Failing to properly diagnose a patient so that he or she can receive appropriate treatment for a condition
  • Failing to treat or see a patient within a reasonable amount of time, a problem that can occur in hospital emergency rooms
  • Failing to order or complete tests and procedures that are appropriate
