Tenacious Phoenix Hospital Malpractice Attorneys in Arizona
Doctors, surgeons, nurses, and all healthcare providers are required to adhere to the standards of care that is generally practiced in the medical community in treating patients. When they fail to meet this standard, they may be considered negligent and held liable for any damages and injuries suffered as the result of such failure. If you have been a victim of this form of negligence, contact the hospital negligence lawyers at Begam Marks & Traulsen, P.A. for experienced and passionate representation in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hospital and Staff Negligence
Although many patients know that their doctors may be held liable for negligence, some are not aware that hospitals are also held to standards. Hospitals in fact are responsible for the negligence or incompetence of their employees, which commonly include:
- Staff doctors
- Nurses
- Paramedics
- Medical technicians
- Emergency room personnel
Although hospitals are liable for the harm their employees cause, not every medical professional who works in a hospital is an employee. For example, many doctors who provide treatment at a hospital are not actually employees of the hospital; instead they may only have visiting or treatment privileges.
