Nursing Errors
Tucson, Arizona, Nursing Errors Attorneys
Nurses who fail to follow proper procedures or standard treatment protocols can be held financially liable for injuries and deaths that occur as a result. At the Law Offices of Carter Morey, our attorneys review the actions and decisions of nurses in cases involving emergency room errors, medication errors and general medical malpractice. In preparing for trial, our office talks to witnesses, gathers medical records and information on our client and works with medical doctors and other experts in reviewing the actions and decisions of a nurse. By focusing on whether vital signs were checked, fetal monitoring recorded, and on important information communicated to doctors, our lawyers can uncover mistakes and acts of negligence that hospitals and HMOs often try to explain away or hide.

Nursing Errors and Medical Malpractice Liability

Patient Injuries and Nursing Negligence
Nurses can be held accountable for injuries to patients who fall out of bed or injure themselves in the bathroom. Too often, a patient calls a nurse but does not receive a timely answer. They then try to get out of bed themselves and either fall in the process or fall while in the bathroom. In these situations, failure to respond to a patient call is a contributory factor to the injury sustained. In other cases, failure to take proper precautions to prevent injury to a patient can also result in liability for a nurse staff and hospital.
