Hospital Negligence Lawyer in Albuquerque

Seek Justice for Hospital Negligence with Experienced Legal Representation in New Mexico 

Hospitals are generally very busy places. Sometimes, so many things are going on at once that a mistake can be made, and someone may not receive treatment for an extended period. Other times, a nurse may deliberately ignore a patient for whatever reason.

Hospital negligence can manifest in several ways, including physical negligence of a patient and serious mistakes such as prescribing the wrong medication or providing the wrong information to a patient's chart.

Hospital negligence can have severe effects on those who are the victims. Serious life-threatening issues can even arise from this sort of negligence. Many different kinds of drugs and prescription medications should only be used by certain people who need them. If these drugs are given to the wrong person, side effects could gravely damage a person's health.

If you have been the victim of hospital negligence, then you may have sustained severe injuries or incurred other health problems. Attorney Wood will be able to assist you in your case, as you may be able to collect monetary compensation for your injuries.

Common Types of Hospital Negligence in Albuquerque

Hospital negligence can take many forms, each with potentially serious consequences for patients. Some of the most common types include:

1. Failure to Diagnose or Delayed Diagnosis: A missed diagnosis or delayed identification of a serious condition can lead to worsening health, extended treatment, or even death. This could occur due to a misread test result, lack of proper communication, or failure to follow up on symptoms.
2. Surgical Errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as performing the wrong procedure, leaving foreign objects inside the body, or damaging surrounding tissue, are common forms of hospital negligence. These errors can result in long-term physical and emotional harm.
3. Medication Mistakes: Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failing to recognize dangerous drug interactions can lead to severe health issues, including poisoning, allergic reactions, or overdose.
4. Infections: Hospitals are where many people seek treatment for various conditions. Unfortunately, improper hygiene, failure to sterilize equipment, or neglect to follow infection control protocols can lead to life-threatening infections like MRSA or sepsis.

If you believe you've been affected by any of these types of negligence, seeking legal assistance to protect your rights and pursue appropriate compensation is essential.
