Hospital Negligence Attorneys in Detroit, Michigan

Once admitted to a hospital, patients interact with countless medical professionals and other staff. Each of these workers — from surgeons to X-ray technicians and janitors — has a responsibility to maintain a safe environment for all of the patients and visitors at the hospital. This includes both during treatment and during periods of rest, according to the best practices of their profession and the specific duties of their position.

But with the many tasks that come with medical treatment comes an equal number of opportunities for medical malpractice as well as general premises injuries. At Ratton Law Group PC, our attorneys can quickly distinguish between reasonable decisions and negligent errors during your hospital stay, because both of them have years of experience as registered nurses in addition to their legal knowledge. Michael Ratton is a former registered nurse, and Marian Ratton remains a current licensed registered nurse. By cross-referencing our legal and medical knowledge, our firm can help you obtain a successful legal outcome after you have suffered any form of hospital negligence.

Negligence Comes In Many Forms

Any negligent error by a medical professional during your hospital stay may qualify as a form of hospital negligence. Some of the most common errors include:

• Medication errors such as providing the wrong prescription or the wrong dosage

• Incorrect diagnosis

• Falls during bed and wheelchair transfers

• Slip-and-fall accidents

• Malfunctioning equipment

• Improper use of medical equipment

• Emergency room errors before you are admitted
