Hospital Errors

When we think about hospitals, we normally think about safe havens where nurses and doctors come together to perform heroic acts to treat us when we are sick and fix us when we are injured. A lot of the time, this is exactly what happens. But along with all of the good deeds and positive stories comes a variety of errors that are responsible for patient injuries and death. After all, hospitals and institutions are run by human beings, and human beings make mistakes. Hundreds of thousands of people die every year in the United States from preventable hospital errors, and countless others are seriously injured.

Examples of hospital errors that Cooper Law Group, PLLC, has been asked to investigate include:

  • Failure to diagnose and misdiagnosis including cancer and cardiovascular

  • Poor patient handling
