When a Hospital Is Liable for Your Injuries
Hospital negligence cases are typically very complex. Because individuals are most often at the hospital to treat serious injuries that occurred before they arrived, it can be difficult to determine if your injuries were caused by or worsened as a result of negligence.
Additionally, while nurses, technicians, and other staff members are often employees of the hospital, doctors are usually independent contractors. Therefore, if your injuries were caused by a doctor’s negligence, the hospital may not be liable.
A hospital may be liable for your injuries and/or suffering if any of the following are true:
There are many factors that may influence liability. For instance, if a hospital employee made a mistake while under the supervision of an independent contractor physician, the physician and not the hospital may be liable.
Furthermore, certain emergency room situations in which a hospital does not have time to inform you that your doctor is not a hospital employee may mean that the hospital is liable for your avoidable injuries.
