Hospitals offer relief for many patients. Relief from pain, sickness, and disease. Unfortunately, an error could happen, resulting in a patient leaving the hospital with more serious and permanent injuries than when they arrived. If so, medical malpractice may have occurred at the hospital.

How Do Hospital Errors Occur?
Hospital errors happen for a number of reasons. Often, they are mistakes no one meant to make, are missed opportunities, or fall to poor policy. When our Phoenix hospital error attorneys look into your case, we will watch for evidence of these scenarios:
- The hospital has poor policies or no policies at all.
- Medical providers and staff alike have not been properly trained on the policies in place.
- Catheters or feeding tubes were left too long in the body.
- Air enters the body during surgery, causing an air embolism that can lead to death.
- Patients confined to bed or wheelchairs develop bedsores due to negligent care.
- Patients that cannot move develop blood clots in the legs due to negligent care. These can travel through the body causing cardiac arrest, stroke, and wrongful death.
- Misdiagnosis or differential diagnosis
- Failure to timely treat or properly address critical or life threatening health issues
Most hospital errors are preventable, yet we see these scenarios all the time. When these mistakes happen, patients suffer life-changing consequences. These consequences often not only include physical pain but also unplanned financial burdens.
Further, the injuries could be so extreme that they suffer lost wages from missed time from work. The victim may even lose their job because of especially long hospital stays. With the medical malpractice team at Lerner and Rowe on your side, you may be able to recover compensation to cover these financial losses. Just know that we fight to win, and seek the most compensation possible for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and loss of normal life.
