Here is what our Missouri residents need to know about their legal options when hospital negligence has changed their lives.

What is Hospital Negligence?

Hospitals and their staff from the physicians, nurses, medical technicians, and other employees, and administrators are required to follow the recognized standard of care when and employing their facilities with part-time, full-time, and contract employees of all skill levels and while treating patients at every level.

When a patient suffers a serious personal injury or the loss of life caused by a staff member’s actions or inaction, the hospital may be held liable for the incident, as medical errors frequently occur because of failures in hospital systems, a lack of safety protocols, or negligent hiring and retention practices.

When this is true, the facility itself instead of the medical professional or staff member may be held legally liable for the negligence that occurred during the course of that person or party performing their job duties.

Often, pursuing a medical malpractice claim against the facility may produce more efficient results than pursuing the physician, nurse, or another employee directly, as the facility has a team of risk management professionals working to minimize their exposure when patient injuries are caused by the staff’s negligence whether it was a physician, technician, or administrator who is legally liable for the injuries or loss of life that occurred.

That includes our St. Louis and local Missouri medical facilities:
