Toronto Hospital Negligence Lawyer
If you or a loved one have injuries as a result of the negligence of a hospital, nurse, or staff member, you may be entitled to compensation.

The majority of the time, hospitals provide medical care in a professional and caring way, but unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Types of Hospital Negligence
Hospitals are busy places with many patients, doctors, nurses, and other staff moving around at all times of the day. In such an intense and complex environment, it is easy – but not excusable – for mistakes to get made. Some of the common types of hospital negligence include:
- Medication errors are typically caused by nurses administering an incorrect dose or drug, failing to provide the correct frequency of prescriptions, failing to use the proper method of administering the medication, and failing to administer medication correctly. Hospital pharmacists can err by failing to recognize and warn about harmful drug interactions or inappropriate prescriptions.
- Failing to follow procedure or protocol may result in liability for the hospital. Staff including nurses, technicians, pharmacists, or anesthesia and surgical assistants are supposed to follow the standard industry protocols and procedures applicable to their professions.
- Failing to process is a typical error made in emergency rooms by nurses assessing the severity of a patient’s condition. This error can also happen when a doctor’s orders are not correctly carried out by a nurse or other staff person.
- Failure to communicate or monitor a patient’s condition from nurse to doctor can result in harm or a rapid deterioration of the patient’s health. Doctors cannot help patients if they are unaware of their condition. A hospital can also be liable if technicians don’t communicate diagnostic results promptly or adequately.
- Failure to transfer in a timely way results in a delay in treatment for a patient who needs specialized medical care not provided by the hospital. Taking too long to transfer a patient may rise to the level of hospital negligence if the patient suffers harm as a result.
- Equipment failure harms patients by failing to diagnose or slowing the diagnosis process altogether correctly. Either occurrence will result in harm to the patient.
- Inadequate or outdated policies may lead to the spread of infection, failure to have surgical checklists or an unorganized department. A hospital that fails to update its policies to meet proper health and safety standards may be liable for hospital negligence.
If you or someone you love has suffered from these or other errors on the part of a hospital, Mazin & Associates, PC can help you recover compensation for your injuries.
