Hospital Negligence In New York City Puts People’s Lives at Risk

Although doctors and medical professionals often are required to go through extensive training, they are not immune from negligence. That is particularly true in busy or poorly run hospitals where management and staff are not paying close enough attention or communicating with patients or family members about what is going on.  

Hospital negligence can take several different forms. A New York City hospital negligence attorney at our firm will tell you that certain cases are more common than others.

• Emergency room negligence: Time is often of the essence in emergencies. Errors that delay people from getting the appropriate treatment for injuries or illnesses can have life-changing consequences.
• Failure to admit: The negligent failure to admit a person to the hospital who needs medical treatment can be a life or death decision.
• Anesthesia errors: Anesthesia is regularly used to prevent pain during surgeries, but its administration is complicated and requires a particular skill, training, and experience. Medical professionals sometimes are negligent in the amount of anesthesia administered or the required monitoring of a patient during and after anesthesia.
• Failure to monitor: The failure to properly monitor a patient with vital signs, labs, and other tools can result in a delay in diagnosis causing further injury and possibly death.
• Failure to communicate: Every member of the hospital staff has an important role to play in patient care from the attending physician, residents, physician assistants, nurses, radiologists to lab personnel.  Everyone must effectively communicate about the patient’s care and treatment.  Failure to communicate can cause injury and death.
• Improper discharge: Releasing patients from a hospital too soon can have disastrous effects. Unfortunately, many hospitals pressure doctors and staff to turnover beds and get patients out to maximize revenue.
• Sepsis: Sepsis is a severe medical condition when a person’s body has an extreme reaction to an infection. Diagnosis and treatment of sepsis and its source is a medical emergency that must be done as fast as possible.
