What Is Nursing Malpractice?
Nurses are responsible for implementing the care plans established by physicians and ensuring patient safety. They are the patient’s direct line to the rest of their care team, and they play a crucial role in monitoring changes in a patient’s condition and communicating them to others.
Attorney Morrissey has extensive experience with:
- Medication errors: Incorrect dosage and administration as well as prescription errors can have serious consequences. Attorney Morrissey has a proven track record of holding responsible parties accountable.
- Failure to monitor: Negligence in monitoring vital signs and patient conditions and failure to respond to alarms can lead to delayed interventions and adverse outcomes.
- Inadequate training: When nurses lack proper training or fail to adhere to established protocols, patients can suffer unnecessary harm.
- Patient falls: Inadequate supervision, failure to implement fall prevention measures and neglect in responding to patient assistance requests can result in serious injuries.
- Miscommunication and documentation errors: Poor communication among health care providers or inaccurate documentation can compromise patient safety.
Every medical malpractice claim, no matter who it involves, is unique. Attorney Morrissey understands what it takes to carefully investigate a malpractice incident and develop an informed approach that is tailored to your goals.
