What Is a Hospital Negligence Claim?

A hospital negligence claim is a type of medical negligence claim made when a hospital, doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional fails to provide the standard of care expected, and this failure causes injury or harm.

Hospitals are responsible for patient safety at every stage of treatment.
