All medical professionals, including hospitals, doctors, nurses, surgical physicians, and dentists have an obligation to conduct themselves professionally. When they do not, either through inappropriate decision-making, lack of skill, or by honest mistakes, patients in their care can be seriously injured. However, an injury that occurred while under the care of a medical professional does not automatically mean there was medical malpractice. The attorneys at Cain & Associates, PLLC can help you determine if you have a valid case. Common instances of medical malpractice include surgical problems, objects left inside patients, medication errors, and failure to diagnose a medical problem before it becomes more serious. In a medical malpractice case, we must prove that the medical provider did not meet the applicable standard of care in you or your loved one's particular case in order to recover monetary damages.
Hospital malpractice is the medical negligence of a doctor, nurse, or another member of the hospital staff when caring for a patient. A hospital has a duty to use reasonable care in hiring and supervising its employees, including doctors, interns, residents, and such non-physician personnel as nurses, technicians, and aides. A doctor, nurse or other healthcare provider at a hospital commits medical malpractice or negligence by failing to adhere to the standards of care set by the industry. Just as in other walks of life, physicians, nurses, and healthcare providers have a responsibility to conduct their practice of medicine in conformity with hospital protocol and state regulations.
In Tennessee, it is mandatory that Cain & Associates, PLLC, consult with an expert witness who can testify at trial, who is a licensed physician in a state that is contiguous to Tennessee, and who is familiar with the standard of practice in the area in which you suffered your injury. Based on the results of the expert witness consultation, a lawsuit can then be started. To consult regarding your claim, contact an Attorney at Cain & Associates, PLLC today.
