The Dangers of Nursing Errors
Nurses are the eyes and ears of doctors and are responsible for the monitoring and day-to-day care of patients. When nurses fail to properly monitor patients or fail to report warning signs to doctors, the patient is put at risk.
Examples of nursing malpractice include:
- Failure to recognize and treat infections
- Failure to move immobile patients, resulting in bedsores
- Failure to monitor blood pressure
- Errors in child birth
Nursing malpractice can be the result of negligence on the part of individual nurses, or in many cases, the hospital itself. In an effort to cut corners, hospitals often assign each nurse more patients than he or she can adequately care for. Understaffing creates a dangerous situation in which there are simply not enough nurses on hand.
We are skilled at identifying the causes of medical malpractice and will work to identify all liable parties. Our attorneys are committed to helping you obtain compensation for the injuries and other hardships you have endured.
