Your Malpractice Story Matters:
Unfortunately, malpractice due to nursing neglect is a significant issue in healthcare today, including right here in Ohio. With increasing staffing shortages and overwhelming patient-to-nurse ratios, critical aspects of patient care are often overlooked, leading to life-altering consequences. Nursing neglect becomes a form of medical malpractice when a nurse's care falls short of the accepted standards, resulting in harm to the patient. This neglect can manifest in several ways, both ethically and legally.
Approximately 400,000 people suffer the effects of a preventable medical error each year.
During an initial consultation, we’ll discuss what happened to you and make a decision together about the next steps for your case.
A nurse’s job is to advocate for us as we recover. Doctors rely on nurses to be their eyes and ears on us. Unfortunately, many important details are not communicated or are miscommunicated. What may seem insignificant to a nurse may be of vital importance to the doctor.
Different problems require different timelines and different sensitivity to changes. A delay in observing or communication can be the difference between cure and catastrophe, or life and death.
Monitoring your condition is the basic job of a nurse. Inattention to this monitoring can make a correctable problem uncorrectable.
Whether it's the wrong medication or the wrong dosage or a failure to administer a medication at all, nursing neglect errors can have catastrophic consequences.
A "Never Event" in nursing refers to a shocking and preventable medical error that should never occur in a healthcare setting. These events often result from negligence or serious lapses in safety protocols and can lead to severe harm or even death. Examples of never events include performing surgery on the wrong patient, administering the wrong medication, utilizing infected instruments, or leaving surgical instruments inside a patient after surgery. These incidents are considered unacceptable in any medical environment, and healthcare providers may be held legally accountable for the harm caused. If you or a loved one has been affected by a never event, it's important to seek legal guidance to understand your rights and options.
