Hospital Malpractice
Most injuries or deaths due to medical malpractice occur in hospitals. When it is a nurse’s fault, the hospital is liable because most nurses are employees of the hospital. Also although, many doctors are not employees of the hospital, it may not be legally liable for the negligence of a physician under certain circumstances.
Oftentimes, the fault may be from a combination of physicians and nurses because, under many circumstances, communication errors occur between the hospital staff and physicians. Many patients have significant pre-existing medical problems when admitted to hospitals. These preexisting medical problems can cover the outcome of negligence and thus can become difficult to prove – these cases can be quite complicated.
