There are a lot of reasons why negligence may occur at a hospital. A lot of hospital errors occur because of overworked staff who are struggling to keep up with the demands of their jobs. There may be a lack of communication and sloppy record-keeping. Other times it comes down to an individual’s negligence, such as a doctor or healthcare professional who is either unprepared or inexperienced doing something that results in your injury or loss.
However, none of these are excuses for you to suffer.
You may wonder what happens to the health professionals responsible for harming you if your case is successful. The answer is that it depends mostly on the state where the negligent physician or healthcare professional practices. In addition to paying the victim, other common punishments include revocation or suspension of medical licenses, fines, required monitoring, and so on.
