• Under normal circumstances, subject to variations which exist in many
states, a hospital is not usually liable for the actions of a doctor
practicing in the hospital. This is due to a variety of factors, but primarily
because most doctors are not employees of the hospital, but rather are
independent contractors. If a non-employee doctor commits malpractice
in the hospital, then the injured party likely cannot hold the hospital
responsible. If, however, the patient is led to believe by statement,
appearance or otherwise that the doctor is a hospital employee or
representative, some states may still find the hospital liable for the
doctor’s malpractice.
• Nurses, medical technicians, and other medical personnel usually are
hospital employees and, therefore, the hospital has responsibility for
their actions. All of this is a brief overview, subject to the law in your
state which may be different, to understand why the emergency room
may require a different analysis
3. Disclosure that a doctor is a non-
employee
• When a patient selects a doctor, part of the process and paperwork usually
involves a disclosure that the doctor is not an employee of the hospital, but
merely has privileges to practice there. Therefore, the hospital distances itself
from responsibility for the doctor’s actions. In an emergency situation, the
patient is not choosing a specific doctor but a care center and the hospital does
not have the opportunity to inform the patient of the non-employee status of the
doctor. Hospital Malpractice and Negligence
• Hospital malpractice causes thousands of injuries and deaths every year. Cases of
medical negligence often involve complex issues regarding emergency room care,
surgery, intensive care treatment, labor and delivery and medication errors.
These cases require extensive medical research, investigation and analysis
• There's no question about it: hospitals can be dangerous places. Medical
mistakes in the diagnosis and treatment of hospital patients are unfortunately
among the most common cases of hospital malpractice seen by malpractice
lawyers. Misdiagnosis of the patient's condition, improperly interpreted
diagnostic tests, negligently performed surgeries and medication errors are all
examples of medical negligence and can all have devastating effects on patients
already admitted to a hospital with an illness or injury. This can be considered
hospital malpractice.

• Medical negligence cases are not always the result of the negligence or mistreatment of illnesses or symptoms contracted
outside the hospital. Infections contracted in the hospital setting represent another area of hospital negligence. Hospitals
have infection control departments which set standards for infection protection and treatment. An infection acquired in a
hospital is called a "nosocomial" infection. These can include pneumonia, staph infections, or infections of a surgical
wound. Nosocomial infections should be treated aggressively, especially in patients with compromised immune systems.
Often this involves intravenous antibiotic treatment, which may even continue once the patient is discharged from the
hospital. In cases of medical negligence, the failure to timely diagnose or treat an infection in the hospital setting can
result in systemic sepsis or worse.
• Sending a patient home too soon is another common hospital mistake which can have tragic results. Releasing patients
who have exhibited signs of stroke, symptoms of heart attack, kidney problems, blood disorders or untreated infections
can also result in serious injuries, such as organ damage and death.
• Injury during birth often stems from a lack of oxygen to the brain. A fetus suffering from intrauterine asphyxia will almost
always show signs of distress. Doctors, nurses, midwives and other labor and delivery professionals are trained to
recognize symptoms of fetal distress and react accordingly.
• If a healthcare provider falls below accepted standards in recognizing the signs of fetal distress, irreversible injury can
result.
• Technology, including an internal fetal heart rate monitor is a common tool in avoiding permanent injury as a result of
difficult or complicated labor.
• Our birth injury trial and settlement attorneys have handled hundreds of cases that involve an allegation of secondary to
negligent monitoring.
6. LEGAL AID:
• Legal aid is no longer available for most
clinical negligence claims, following the Legal
Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders
Act 2012, which came into force on 1 April
2013. From 1 April 2013 onwards legal aid
will only be available in clinical negligence
cases where a child suffers a neurological
injury resulting in them being severely
disabled during pregnancy, child birth or the
postnatal period (8 weeks).
