Hospital Malpractice

At Kelly, Trotter & Franzen, we provide the highest quality counsel and advocacy when a malpractice suit is brought to a hospital.

HOSPITAL MALPRACTICE CAN BE DEVASTATING TO HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL PROFESIONALS.

In the situation of a hospital malpractice lawsuit, the patient is suing the hospital because they believe that the hospital and not just an individual medical professional is to blame for damages.

HOSPITAL MALPRACTICE MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

→ More than one medical professional must be responsible for the malpractice.

→ The medical professionals must be employees of the hospital.

Many hospitals protect themselves against malpractice suits by hiring doctors as independent contractors instead of full time employees. This practice allows hospitals to focus on the needs of their patients, and not get overwhelmed by malpractice suits that often don’t come to fruition.
