Common Types of Chicago Hospital Errors

Sadly, hospital errors are made everyday. They can range in severity from minor mix-ups to fatal medication or surgical errors, and can be made by doctors, nurses, surgeons, pharmacists, anesthesiologists and other medical professionals. Some of the most common types of hospital errors include:

• Doctor mistakes
• Medication errors
• Wrong diagnosis
• Wrong site surgeries
• Surgical errors
• Miscommunication between staff
• Patient chart mix-ups
• X-ray technician mistakes

Compensation for Hospital Errors in Chicago

Because medical professionals have a responsibility to protect their patients’ health and safety, when hospital errors do occur, they are liable for all losses associated with the injury, including:

• Any additional medical expenses, including surgeries and treatment programs
• Physical pain, disfigurement and permanent disabilities
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Lost wages, lost ability to pursue a normal course of employment
• Lost ability to participate in everyday activities

If you have a family member who died as the result of a hospital error, you may be eligible to seek compensation for losses including medical and funeral expenses by filing a Chicago wrongful death lawsuit against the medical professional(s) responsible for the death.
