Hospital malpractice is a serious problem that occurs daily in the United States, injuring more than 230,000 patients and killing over 80,000 patients annually. Any form of malpractice or negligence that takes place in a hospital and causes physical injury to a patient is considered hospital negligence. Hospital negligence may be the result of carelessness by any hospital staff member, including physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and technicians. Recent studies have shown that substance abuse, alcohol abuse, and exhaustion from lack of sleep and working long hours are some causes that contribute to hospital malpractice occurring so frequently.

Physicians and medical staff must conduct themselves in a professional manner, and provide patients with quality care and efficient treatment. But, we repeatedly hear news stories about innocent patients suffering at the hands of their respected and trusted doctors. Some of the many serious situations that may constitute hospital negligence include:

• Anesthesia error
• Birth injury
• Delayed diagnosis
• Failure to diagnose
• Medical device error
• Misdiagnosis
• Negligence
• Physical abuse
• Prescription medication errors
• Sexual abuse or misconduct
• Spinal cord injury
• Surgical instruments left in the body

As the victim of hospital negligence you have the right to seek information about your legal rights. Hospital malpractice lawsuits require a great deal of knowledge about various medical and legal laws, rules, and procedures. If you have suffered a serious injury as the result of hospital negligence please contact a New York hospital negligence attorney at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro to discuss your case.

The statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim in the State of New York is two and a half years from the date that the malpractice occurred, and in some cases that date that the malpractice was recognized.
