Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice

Negligence or medical malpractice occurs when somebody is not paying attention to what they are doing, or not doing what they are supposed to be doing and, as a result, someone else suffers a personal injury.

In our practice, common examples of negligence we see that occurs in Colorado nursing homes, hospitals and psychiatric hospitals include:

• Failure to prevent or properly treat bed sores
• Failure to provide adequate nutrition or hydration
• Failure to prevent people who are at risk of falling from falling
• Failure to provide the right medication at the right time
• Overmedication
• Failure to respond to call lights
• Failure to protect people from violent or abusive staff members or other residents
• Failure to keep residents clean and dry
• Failure to render emergency care in emergency situations
• Failure to keep doctors and family members notified of changes in condition
• Short-staffing
• Misidentification of patients
• Misuse of chemical or physical restraints
• Failure to prevent patients from self-harm
• Patient rights violations

Negligence or medical malpractice in Colorado nursing homes and other health care facilities often results in serious bodily injury and, unfortunately, far too often results in wrongful death.

Colorado has laws and statutes in place that govern how and when medical malpractice cases can and must be brought. We can help you with your negligence, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims.
