Our firm focuses on malpractice cases involving paraprofessionals to include but not limited to registered nurses, practical nurses, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and radiology technicians. In addition to these professionals, almost anyone who is employed at a hospital, clinic or pharmacy that comes in contact with a patient has the potential to cause harm to the patient. We evaluate cases in which a serious injury or death has occurred. Medical Malpractice cases are usually filed against the negligent party(ies) and the facility (hospital, clinic, pharmacy) that employs the negligent party. Our hospital malpractice lawyers have the resources and experience to take on tough cases, such as:

• Failure to monitor and observe a patient
• Failure to report adverse information
• Failure to intervene
• Hospital employee errors
• Medication errors
• Inaccurate record keeping
• Negligent transport

As a registered nurse and former hospital manager, attorney Karen Salter has a unique perspective regarding these cases. She understands the level of medical care that all hospital staff must provide to patients, and she recognizes when the failure to do so leads to injuries.

In some cases, the hospital administration’s actions or inactions may have caused or contributed to your injury. Did they fail to do a proper background check on an employee with a criminal record who later assaulted a patient? Did the hospital fail to provide adequate staffing to provide care for patients?
