Hospital Liability

Hospital liability refers to the legal responsibility hospitals have when a patient is harmed due to negligent care. This can involve errors in treatment, inadequate staff training, or failure to maintain safe conditions. If a patient suffers an injury as a result, they may be able to sue the hospital for damages. Liability aims to ensure that healthcare providers maintain high standards and compensate patients for harm while also encouraging improvements in patient safety and care quality. Essentially, it holds hospitals accountable for their actions and the well-being of their patients.
