Nurse Malpractice
Today, nurses bear many responsibilities that at one time belonged solely to doctors. It is not uncommon for a nurse to diagnose illness, treat patients and prescribe medication. These greater responsibilities create added importance that nurses provide an accepted level of care to patients. When they fail to do so, innocent people can suffer serious medical setbacks and even wrongful death.

At Jacobs & Jacobs, we handle a wide range of medical malpractice lawsuits, including those involving nurse malpractice. We provide experienced, compassionate legal representation to clients from New Haven and throughout Connecticut.

Nursing malpractice can take many forms, from medication errors to failure to recognize and treat a patient’s symptoms. Elder Abuse can lead to serious and catastrophic injuries and even wrongful death.

Hospitals have precise rules and regulations in place detailing the chain of command amongst the medical professionals. If a nurse notices a mistake by a doctor or a condition that violates patient safety, he or she must report the incident to the appropriate party.

Nurses, above all, are advocates for patients. If you or a family member have suffered because a nurse failed to fulfill that role, our lawyers are here to stand up for your rights.

You are welcome to call 866-668-7179 or e-mail our law firm to talk about your nurse malpractice case or a loved one’s wrongful death. If you cannot come to the office, we will come to your hospital room or home. We want to help you and your family through this.
