 Maryland-based trial lawyer Rick Jaklitsch has handled personal injury and
negligence cases at the state, regional and district court level. Frequently
appearing on Best Lawyer inAmerica lists, attorney Rick Jaklitsch's firm
represents clients who have been subjected to poor medical care and
treatment due to hospital malpractice.
In some circumstances, a patient may be exposed to medical malpractice
as a result of mismanagement or negligence at the hospital. Some
examples of hospital malpractice include an inadequate number of staff on
shift or a failure to verify the training and certification of medical
employees. Hospitals are also considered liable for the errors of their direct
employees, which usually applies to nurses, technicians, and some
physicians.
The hospital is ultimately responsible if any of their medical providers
misdiagnose, erroneously medicate, or fail to obtain informed consent
from a patient. If an individual or their loved one have suffered from
complications due to hospital malpractice, they should seek the advice of
an experienced attorney.
