A Facility Could Be At Fault for Your Injury
In some cases, the medical facility where a patient receives treatment makes mistakes or presents conditions that prompt the patient’s injury or medical problem. When this happens, the facility can be liable for the patient’s damages, the same as a medical practitioner would be held accountable.
Examples of the types of facilities that can find themselves in a medical malpractice suit include:
- Hospitals
- Doctor’s offices
- Surgery centers
- Urgent care facilities
- Testing labs
- Nursing homes and long-term care facilities
Our legal team will conduct an exhaustive investigation of the facility where you received your medical treatment. If the conditions the facility provided caused or worsened an injury or medical condition, we will establish its negligence and work to recover your losses.
