A hospital should be a peaceful place where you can trust that your recovery is being handled by well-rested staff who are not pressured to take on more than they should or are able. When this is not the case and your health is compromised due to inadequate staffing errors, you deserve to be compensated for any illnesses or injuries you suffer as a result. Talk with an experienced lawyer who can help you file a successful medical malpractice claim.
At Cirignani Heller & Harman, LLP, our Chicago, Illinois, attorneys are board certified medical professionals and compassionate advocates for our clients. Our main focus involves procuring the best possible outcome for you while lowering your over-stimulated stress levels.
Compensation For Injuries And Illnesses Caused By Inadequate Staffing
Under-staffing a hospital is a business decision. The medical care industry is not hurting. With the billions of dollars being siphoned into nonpublic aid hospitals from insurance and pharmaceutical companies, there should be no shortage of staff, ever. It is more profitable for a hospital to keep staffing low. But while the bottom line may be increasing, the health, wellness and safety of patients is declining.
By staffing fewer nurses to cover more patients, or by allowing unqualified or under-qualified hospital staff to perform tests or procedures or make decisions for the patient, risks for errors significantly increase. This can lead to inadequate, unnecessary, repeat or even harmful treatments. Some cases may even lead to death.
At Cirignani Heller & Harman, LLP, we have a wealth of experience and success in all types of medical malpractice claims. We will fight to help you obtain full and fair compensation for any injuries, illnesses or losses you have suffered.
