Ronald Reagan Hospital – Wrongful Death – Failure to Diagnose – Operation Error – Surgery Malpractice – Attorney
If you or a loved one have suffered a wrongful death, operation error, surgery malpractice or a failure to diagnose a condition, then you know that it is difficult to understand how this can ever occur. In the case of a failure to diagnose, you are losing out on the opportunity to set your medical diagnosis right, and to get potentially life-saving treatment. But none of that can happen for you, when the doctor or referring healthcare professional fails to diagnose your medical condition properly or on time. A diagnostic error has many facets, all of which spell trouble for you if you are unfortunate enough to have this happen to you. Your malpractice claim for an error in a diagnosis can include the doctor or referring medical professional making a mistake with a:
- Diagnostic error
- False negative reading on testing
- False positive reading on a test
- Unnecessary intervention
- Over diagnosing your condition
- Failure to detect a real disease
- Failure to treat a real disease
- High risk of medication contradiction for wrongly diagnosed disease
- Delayed diagnosis causing harm or death from delay of treatable illness
If you have had a loved one who died because of a mistake by a doctor or professional healthcare worker or surgeon, you can call us now at the Normandie Law Firm. We are here to talk to you and review your medical claim for free.

Falling Out of Hospital Bed Can Cause You More Injuries Than You Originally Had Going to the Hospital
If you have fallen out of bed, it is the responsibility of the hospital to provide a safe environment, and it may be their fault that you have fallen and hurt yourself at the hospital. People who fall out of bed at a hospital have to know that they are at a higher risk of becoming seriously injured with injuries to a:
- Head trauma
- Broken hip
- Broken arm
- Broken leg
- Fractured skull
- Other fractures
People who fall out of the bed at a hospital have succumbed to an avoidable accident. The staff at the hospital are trained on how to always maintain safety for the patients while they are in the care of the hospital. Falling out of the bed at a hospital is unacceptable, and the staff needs to change their protocols if this happens to you during your stay. Additionally, since this is a preventable accident, many staff members feel guilty for allowing you to fall and injure yourself. For that reason, falls at the hospital often go unreported by the hospital staff, because they do not want that fall to be a part of the negative records of unsafe incidents at the facility.1
Acquiring an Infection at a Hospital Means that the Conditions Were Less Than Sterile and Secure
If you get an infection while you are already staying at a hospital, it is usually the fault of the hospital staff. Your infection may show that you were subjected to a less than sterile environment, and it may have prompted you to get a hospital acquired infection. It is a common incident that people in a hospital can get a hospital acquired infection. But did you know that you can also get sepsis from being hospitalized in an unclean hospital, and this condition can kill you! Sepsis is a life-threatening infection that is passed in a hospital when there are unclean and unsterile conditions.2 If you develop sepsis or any other type of infection from being at a hospital, you have the risk of organ failure and other life-threatening conditions occurring by acquiring a hospital infection during your hospital stay. When this does occur, you will want to call our office to allow us to review your claim for free.
