Hospital Negligence/Nurse Failures

Negligence does not just occur at the hands of doctors. All levels of personnel at a hospital are involved in a patient’s care and negligence unfortunately happens at all levels. Doctors depend on staff members to meet the standard of care in their various practice areas. Mistakes by nursing staff, inpatient care staff, pathologists, technicians and even records staff can lead to complications and serious injury. Below are samples of successes obtained by Attorneys Kampinski and Schneider in the realm of Hospital Negligence/Nursing Failures...
