Seek Legal Counsel From A Wheeling Medical Malpractice Attorney
When you check into a hospital for treatment, the last thing on your mind is obtaining a significant injury.

In order to generate finances, a hospital may have insufficient number of employees or allow unqualified or underqualified staff members to perform specific duties which can lead to medical mistakes.
If you or a loved one has sustained severe injuries due to the negligent actions of hospital staff members, it’s imperative you seek legal representation from their experienced legal team. The medical malpractice attorneys at Fitzsimmons law firm possess the extensive legal knowledge in the medical field to get the compensation you deserve.

Types of Hospital Negligence
A hospital can be held accountable for the actions of their employees, such as nurses, paramedics, administrative staff, mid-level managers and chief executive officers. In regards to doctors, some are considered independent contractors which makes them not liable for medical malpractice, unless the hospital controls their working hours, vacation time and sets the charging fees.
Forms of hospital negligence include:
- Diagnostic errors
- Surgical errors
- Treatment errors
- Birth injuries
- Medication mistakes
- Anesthesia errors
- Inadequate monitoring
- Equipment failure
The kind of proof the plaintiff requires depends on whether the negligence involved a professional healthcare issue, not a simple matter like slipping on a wet floor which didn’t have a caution sign in place.
