Hospital Negligence Lawyers

A hospital is supposed to be where you get better. When a preventable failure inside a hospital harms a patient, such as a fall that shouldn't have happened, a pressure injury from being left in the same position for too long, or an infection from unsafe care, the effects can be serious and lasting. We help patients and families hold hospitals accountable for that kind of harm. If this happened to you or someone you love, tell us what happened. The first call is free.

When an Injury Points to Negligence

Not every bad outcome in a hospital is someone’s fault. What we look for is a preventable failure: a risk the hospital knew about and didn’t guard against, a safety step that was skipped, or an injury that has no other reasonable explanation. If you’re not sure whether what happened crosses that line, that’s exactly what a free call is for.

The Hospital Cases We Handle

We focus on preventable failures in how a hospital cares for and protects patients.

Hospital-acquired infections

Infections like MRSA, staph, and sepsis can spread when a hospital ignores basic safety and hygiene. When an infection comes from unsafe care, the hospital may be responsible for the harm that follows.

Pressure injuries and bedsores

A patient who isn't turned or monitored can develop serious pressure injuries. These are often preventable, and they're a common sign that care fell short.

Falls and monitoring failures

Patients at known risk of falling should be watched and protected. When a hospital fails to do that and a patient is hurt, that failure can support a claim.

What Makes a Strong Case

We don’t take every case, and we’ll be honest with you about yours. The strongest ones have a clear, serious injury, medical records that show what happened, and a failure we can tie to the harm. Hospital records are detailed, and getting and reading them is often where these cases are decided.

Things You Should Know

  • These cases take time, usually one to two years, sometimes longer.
  • Hospital cases can involve extra legal steps and shorter deadlines than other claims, so it’s important to call early.
  • Medical records are central. The sooner we can review them, the sooner we can tell you where you stand.

Why Reinan Law

We take fewer cases than most firms so we can give each one real attention.

Where We Practice

We're based in Denver and represent patients and families across Colorado, Wyoming, and Minnesota.

Common Questions

Often, yes. When a hospital's preventable failure harms a patient, the hospital can be held responsible. Whether your situation supports a claim depends on the facts, which we can talk through on the first call.

There's overlap, but our focus is on care and safety failures, like falls, pressure injuries, and infections, rather than a single treatment or surgical decision. If your situation is really a different kind of case, we'll tell you honestly.

It can be. Many hospital-acquired infections and pressure injuries are preventable, and when unsafe care caused one, the hospital may be responsible. We'd look at the records to see what happened.

Hospital cases can have shorter deadlines and extra requirements, so it's best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible so you don't lose the chance to bring a claim.

We handle cases on a contingency fee, so you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
