North Carolina Hospital Negligence Lawyers

Injured Due to Hospital Negligence in Winston-Salem?

Many patients die or suffer serious injuries due to negligent care and treatment in hospitals. Breakdowns in communication between physicians and nurses, mistakes in medication, or even the simple failure to monitor vital signs can put patients at risk of permanent disability or death.

If you or someone in your family is considering a medical malpractice lawsuit  due to poor treatment in a hospital or negligent postoperative care, contact an experienced lawyer at Comerford Chilson & Moser, L.L.P., in Winston-Salem for a free consultation.

What Is Considered Hospital Negligence?

Though hospital negligence cases can involve very simple mistakes of inattention and oversight, the injuries nonetheless can be severe, permanent, or fatal. 

Our hospital malpractice attorneys help severely injured clients, or the surviving families of fatal negligence victims recover damages through settlement or trial in situations such as the following:

  • Medication errors
  • Failure to monitor blood pressure, temperature, or other vital signs
  • Nurse’s failure to follow the instructions of a physician
  • Physician’s failure to read or respond to nurse’s reports
  • Ineffective prevention or treatment of postoperative infections
  • Improper use of heparin or other anticoagulant protocol
  • Failure to protect patients from falls in bed or in transit

Because North Carolina medical malpractice claims must be supported by an expert’s medical opinion that the patient’s injury or death resulted from the defendant’s failure to satisfy a recognized standard of care, we carefully examine the facts of your claim with medical professionals to make sure that we have a reasonable likelihood of proving liability against the defendant doctor, nurse, technician, or hospital.
