I went to the hospital to be treated and instead they told me I was suffering from an illness I found out later to be untrue after being tested by another doctor and during my stay there I contracted MRSA. Who can you sue for medical malpractice after receiving bad care at a hospital?

With overcrowding in hospitals and overworked staff, many are not given the proper healthcare treatment that staff is obligated to provide. If you were misdiagnosed you may have a claim. Misdiagnosis is actually a very prevalent issue and countless patients suffer at the hands of staff that failed to offer high quality medical care. In addition, it is highly common for those that are kept over in the hospital to contract additional infectious diseases when hospital staff does not carry out proper sanitary precautions. The spread of infectious disease affects many and leaves them with further health complications as a repercussion of staff negligence. It is difficult to know if you have a claim without further information and one of the best choices you can make is to speak to a professional about your case. They can evaluate the care you were given in your hospital stay to help determine if it was in fact the negligence on the part of the hospital that was at fault.
