Hospital malpractice is a frustrating concept. After all, we go to our doctors because they are experts and we desperately need their help. At the very least, we expect them to be careful, cautious, and responsible in their administration of care.
Unfortunately, doctors often slip up and make dangerous mistakes. When that happens, even by accident, patients are entitled to a financial recovery for the damages that they suffer as a result. Family members may also be entitled to compensation in the event of a wrongful death.

Suing for hospital malpractice in West Hartford is no easy challenge. The insurance and medical fields have been very successful in increasing the burdens that patients face in their fight for justice.
