You Can Be Compensated If Errors By Hospital Staff Contributed To Your Injury
For the great majority of people, hospitals are a place of remedy and healing. However, for some people, a trip to the hospital results in further injury. While doctors, nurses and medical staff are highly trained professionals, they are not infallible. And if the actions or negligence of one of these hospital employees causes injury, the hospital must be held accountable.

Understanding Hospital Negligence Claims
It can be difficult to understand your legal rights if you were injured at a hospital. While nurses and medical assistants are typically hospital employees, in many cases doctors are contracted employees. What does this mean for you? If you were injured in a hospital by a contracted doctor, the hospital itself cannot be sued. Instead, you will have to pursue the doctor’s insurer in a medical malpractice case. However, in the rare case a doctor is on staff at the hospital, or if your injuries were caused by another staff member such as a nurse, the hospital will likely be liable.
One thing is for certain, if you were a patient in a hospital and were injured due to the negligence or mistake of a health care professional or doctor, you need legal advice. That’s where Hullverson Law Firm can help. Our law firm has been serving injured clients in St. Louis and throughout Missouri for more than 90 years. We only focus on personal injury cases and have handled many medical malpractice and hospital negligence cases over the years.
Our lawyers have seen cases where hospital administrators failed to do sufficient credentialing when hiring staff doctors or nurses. As a result a patient is injured due to medical incompetence. In other instances hospital staff failed to monitor, diagnose or treat a patient, also resulting in injury. Regardless of how you were injured, we will use all available legal means to investigate your accident and establish hospital liability. Our goal is to help you move forward after your injuries by securing rightful compensation for your medical expenses, pain and lost wages.
