Negligent Supervision May Be Considered Hospital Malpractice

injury case examples

On behalf of Hastings Law Firm posted in Medical Facility Negligence Lawyer in Houston on Thursday, June 25, 2015.

Texas hospitals are required to provide safe environments for all patients. In order to provide a healthy environment conducive to wellness and recovery, hospitals and staff should strive to provide appropriate supervision and assistance to every patient. When a patient is not properly monitored and sustains an injury, it could be considered hospital malpractice and should contact immediately a medical injury attorney in Houston, TX.

Patients can sustain unnecessary injuries when a hospital fails to monitor immobile, severely injured or ill patients. These patients are prone to falls, developing bedsores and may not be able to properly communicate needs. Lax supervision can lead to medication errors, lack of nutrition and even infection. Unfortunately, patients susceptible to medical complications are often too weak or ill to speak up regarding substandard medical care.

Family members of Texas patients who have developed unexpected infections, show signs of neglect or who have been subjected to pharmaceutical errors may act as advocates for their loves ones. Often, hospital negligence is a result of under staffing, lack of proper training for care givers and other avoidable issues. When an individual needlessly suffers harm while in a hospital, family members would be wise to refuse to accept the standard explanation of unavoidable complications.

Hospital malpractice is a serious issue, but victims and families often feel daunted by the process of filing a civil claim against the liable doctor, care provider, or hospital. Our team of medical error attorneys in Houston will work on behalf of these victims, seeking deserved compensation for financial and emotional suffering. Contact the medical malpractice professionals Hastings Law Firm Houston to get help. We will work to find an appropriate legal remedy for your situation and strive to prevent the same harm from befalling another person.

Fantastic law firm! Getting our negligence case settled took longer than originally expected but in the end the results were well worth it. Mr. Hastings and his office were always professional, polite, and thorough in explaining my case to me. Bug thanks to him and his staff for helping me through this ordeal.

We couldn’t have made a better choice by hiring the Hastings Law Firm to represent us. The staff was always professional but they showed real concern for our case and made it personal. If you need a great law firm, I would happily recommend them.

Tommy is a great guy, genuinely concerned about his clients. This is evident in not only how he runs his firm but the fact that he chose to focus on medmal, something other attorneys have abandoned. If you’re looking for someone that will fight for you tooth and nail, he’s your man.

Tommy Hastings and his staff provided a much needed voice for us during our crisis. His attention to detail went beyond the scope of simply practicing law. He is honest, informative, pragmatic and communicated well with us from start to finish. In a sea full of competing attorneys, Tommy has cast a reputation for himself as the very best. I highly recommend his services.

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued, my nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Tommy Hastings and his staff go above and beyond! I couldn’t have asked for a better law firm or attorney!

I can’t say enough great things about this law firm. The staff was friendly and courteous every step of the way. They kept me informed and explained all of my options. Tommy was amazing to work with and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my outcome. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. If you don’t go with Hastings, you are doing yourself a disservice. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Tommy and his law firm. He represented us in a case where a simple surgery left my mother permanently disabled. His staff was very professional and diligent and kept me well informed throughout the case. In the end we are happy with the settlement she received and feel lucky to have had Tommy as our attorney.

My brother had an unnecessary surgery which left him with severe neurological issues. We called several attorneys but chose Hastings because of their focus on cases like this. While the case is still pending, we’ve already received a settlement offer that was very close to what we were looking for. Many thanks go out to Tommy and his great team!

We’re blessed to have found the Hastings law firm. Tommy and Greg were outstanding! Both attorneys were very responsive, professional, and helpful with any questions we had about our case. Their entire staff went above and beyond to keep us updated and most of all, calm. My family feels as though we have been made (mostly) whole again. Thank you both for your hard work.
