Hospital Injuries: Hospitals want you to come to their facilities. They advertise to get you to come to them for help. They often provide emergency departments and anesthesiologist, as well as radiology departments, respiratory therapist, nurseries, intensive care departments, cardiac care units, pharmacists and nurses. They also provide other facilities, diagnostic tests and other personnel. Some hospitals even provide doctors.

If a hospital's services are not provided in accordance with the standard of care, it may be liable to you if its breach of a duty causes you or your loved ones an injury. In addition to being liable for the acts of these health care providers and its equipment, the hospital has an independent duty to supervise the physicians rendering care to the patients and may be liable to you if it breaches this duty. Moreover, some hospitals have permitted doctors to practice at their facility when the doctor did not have the necessary credentials to practice; other hospitals have permitted physicians to continue practice after the hospital was on notice that the doctor was not practicing in accordance with accepted practices. Additionally, according to the Physician's Health Plan, a project of the North Carolina Medical Board and The North Carolina Medical Society, approximately 15% of North Carolina's doctors are impaired from the use of drugs, alcohol or psychiatric problems to such degree that they are not able to safely treat patients. Hospitals have a role to play in protecting people from injury from impaired physicians and failure to take proper steps to protect patients may result in the hospital's liability for a person's injury.

If you or your loved ones have been harmed by a hospital's failure to appropriately care for you, we are here to help you. We can obtain your medical records and those of your loved ones. We can review your medical records and advise you whether medical malpractice may have occurred. We can find health care providers to review the medical care rendered to you or your loved ones and to determine whether medical negligence exists and whether the medical negligence resulted in injuries. In circumstances where medical negligence exists (and this negligence caused your significant injuries or your loved one's significant injuries), we can assist you in trying to obtain a favorable settlement and if the insurance company will not settle your case, we can take it to court.

While nothing can bring back your health or the health of your loved ones, we will fight for you and attempt to obtain both justice and a recovery to assist you in caring for your needs or those of a loved one. If you believe that we may be able to assist you, please call us or e-mail us.
