Doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers must deliver care that meets accepted medical standards. When substandard hospital care causes an injury or worsens a patient’s condition, our Tucson medical malpractice attorneys can investigate what happened and determine who may be responsible.
If you or a family member was harmed while receiving hospital care, call the Mercaldo Law Firm at (520) 624-1400 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
Common Causes of Hospital Negligence in Tucson
Hospital negligence can involve mistakes in emergency rooms, operating rooms, patient rooms, and other areas of a medical facility. The CDC explains that patients can develop healthcare-associated infections during or shortly after receiving medical care. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality also recognizes that patient harm may involve errors related to medication, surgery, diagnosis, equipment, or laboratory reports.
Our Tucson personal injury lawyers handle hospital negligence cases involving:
- Infections from improper cleaning
- Injury due to improper medication dosages
- Failure to conduct proper testing
- Leaving instruments behind following surgery
- Misdiagnosis and failures to diagnose
- Improperly operating medical equipment
