Hospitals and medical centers rely on RNs and LPNs to provide quality care to patients who are suffering from illness and injury. Unfortunately, nurses sometimes make mistakes, and that can result in injuries to patients that are serious and in some cases, life-threatening. In the most tragic of cases, patients do not survive injuries caused by nursing errors. When a mistake occurs, our West Palm Beach nursing error lawyer can help you hold the appropriate party liable so you can claim the financial compensation necessary to help you recover.

Determining Liability for Nursing Errors

To file a claim for financial compensation after being hurt by a nursing error, you must show the liable party owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty of care, and that you sustained injuries as a result. Proving these elements of any personal injury case is difficult, but it is particularly challenging in medical malpractice claims. The first thing you must do after a nursing error is to determine who the liable party is.

Unlike doctors, nurses are often employees of the hospital or medical center where they work. In Florida, employers can be held vicariously liable for the negligent actions of their employees. This means that when a nurse acts negligently, the hospital can be held liable for improper training, improper hiring practices, and more. However, you may also be able to file a claim directly against the negligent nurse. A lawyer can determine which party is to blame for your injuries, so you know who to file a claim against.

Why Work with a West Palm Beach Nursing Error Lawyer?

You should always work with a personal injury lawyer when filing any injury claim, but this is especially true in medical malpractice cases. These claims require a certificate of merit, which is a statement from a nurse in a similar field stating that the defendant did not provide the necessary duty of care. A lawyer will have a network of medical professionals they can reach out to, and other resources, to ensure your claim is filed properly.
