Hospital Negligence
Hospital negligence refers to failures in organization, resources or staff actions in a facility that deviate from required standards and cause harm to the patient. Not every hospital adverse event implies malpractice.
Public and private hospitals must guarantee safe, quality care, with sufficient human and material resources and updated protocols. Liability may arise from individual errors or from structural and organizational failures.
Nosocomial infections, falls or pressure ulcers are not automatically negligent: it is necessary to analyze whether prevention, hygiene, supervision and recording measures required by lex artis and internal protocols were met.
In the public sector, claims are usually brought as patrimonial liability of the Administration; in the private sector, through civil actions against the facility, the professionals involved and, where appropriate, their insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the type of facility and the source of the failure, liability may rest with the individual professional, the hospital for organizational deficiencies and, in public centers, the health Administration through patrimonial liability.
No. Only those in which a breach of prevention measures or infection control protocols can be demonstrated are claimable. Many infections are inherent risks of certain pathologies and procedures, even with proper practice.
Request the complete medical record, gather reports and progress notes, and consult a medical expert and a specialized lawyer to assess whether there was deviation from lex artis and the appropriate legal route for a claim.
