When to sue your doctor or hospital Should you? | Eye Opener: The Nash & Associates Blog | %post_tags%

Recently, a CNN article titled “Harmed in the Hospital? Should You Sue?” described the story of a two-year-old baby with a septic infection who waited about five hours in the emergency department before being seen by a physician. The child ultimately needed several amputations as a result of the delay in medical treatment.

Using this tragic story as a point of reference, the article suggests a number of criteria to help patients decide when to sue and when not to sue a health care provider. For example, the article correctly suggests that a patient who has not sustained injury should not sue a health care provider even if the health care provider’s conduct might have been negligent. In medical malpractice cases, a plaintiff seeks monetary compensation for injuries. If there are no identifiable injuries, there simply isn’t a case for medical malpractice.
