Also commonly referred to as nursing negligence, nursing malpractice occurs when a nurse fails to properly treat a medical condition, resulting in a new or aggravating a current injury. Nursing malpractice claims may arise when a nurse acts in a manner that would be considered unacceptable when compared to how another nurse with similar training might act. Many people don’t realize that doctors aren’t the only medical professionals whom patients can sue for malpractice. In fact, most health care providers including chiropractors, therapists, nurses, psychologists and dentists are subject to such legal action. Over the years, nursing responsibilities have grown to include physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment without direct supervision by a physician, therefore, there is increasing accountability for negligent nurses. Just as with a physician, there are certain standards of care applied to nursing. Nurses are expected to act in a manner based on this standard of care. When nurses don’t act within these accepted standards of care, they are negligent and guilty of nursing malpractice. In such cases, consulting medical malpractice lawyers can provide the necessary legal guidance and support.

Examples of Nursing Negligence

Failure to monitor vital signs
Failure to monitor test results
Failure to notify or report changes in patient condition
Failure to prevent medical complications
Failure to prevent patient injury
Errors in patient medication
Failure to monitor for side effects or complications arising from medications

“When looking for an attorney, I couldn’t find anything negative about Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me.”
