Medical Malpractice

Hospital Malpractice


When your treatment from a health care system fails to meet the accepted standards of care, it can feel overwhelming for many reasons, including uncertainty around managing your resulting injury or illness. It may feel intimidating but it is important for your ongoing care to hold a hospital and the health care providers responsible for their failure to provide you with care that meets these important standards.

Most healthcare providers, including physicians, are typically employed by the hospital. As such, the hospital is responsible for its employees. Most hospitals put enormous pressure on employees to cover as many patients as possible, which is the leading cause for making a mistake. A medical malpractice case is designed to not only compensate a victim of medical mistakes, but to also teach health care providers and hospitals how to provide better care.

Grover Lewis Johnson can help you navigate who should be held responsible in a medical malpractice case, whether it is an individual doctor employed outside of the hospital system, or the hospital system’s nurses, anesthesiologists, technicians or other staff. We’ll guide you through the legal process to help you get the results you deserve and receive the finances needed to manage your ongoing care.
