Compensation is available for those injured by hospital error malpractice: Weitz & Luxenberg can help

Dennis McCaffrey, a 38 year-old postal employee and resident of Lemont, Illinois, went in for a necessary spinal surgery at Loyola University Medical Center. Two weeks after, Dennis began experiencing fever and intense back pain, which prompted him to go back to the hospital. It was then when the hospital noticed a spinal abscess they should have caught earlier. By this time, it was too late – Dennis McCaffrey is spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Had Dennis and his wife not hired a lawyer, they would have had to endure the expenses and pain and suffering of the ordeal without any kind of compensation. Together they sued the hospital over the error on the grounds of medical malpractice. Loyola University Medical Center settled on the sum of $10.5 million in compensation for Dennis and his wife (Chicago Tribune).

What can go wrong in a hospital?

Approximately 195,000 people are killed each year from hospital-related errors. These include, but are not limited to (Natural News):

• Misdiagnosis – treating a patient for something they do not have or failure to treat the patient for something they do have.
• Oversight of a possible problem (this was the case with Dennis McCaffrey mentioned above)
• Improper use of medical devices – this is especially severe in the case of births where improper use of medical devices can result in crimpling birth injuries
• Negligent care – such as forgetting about a patient or ignoring him or her when they desperately need medical attention
• Improperly sterilized medical devices – this can result in serious infections
• Leaving a foreign object in the patient – this can occur during a lengthy and complicated operation
