While a medical professional may be entirely at fault for the error due to misjudgment, carelessness, or mistakes, medical malpractice is most commonly caused by administrative failures such as:
Staffing shortages or reduced staffing
Lack of adequate training
Hiring failures
Not following established medical guidelines for preventing errors
Over-booking appointments, procedures, and surgeries
Regardless of the circumstances leading to the malpractice incident, medical providers and facilities must be held accountable for mistakes that cause great harm to patients in their care. Speak to an experienced medical malpractice attorney in Chicago from our law firm today.
