FAQs about Hospital Negligence
Hospital Negligence Lawyers Answer FAQs
When you go to a hospital for medical help and end up with injuries, it is extremely confusing and frustrating. You may not understand the recourse you have if you were harmed due to negligence.
Below, we answer common questions we see from people who have sustained injuries at hospitals.
Whom can I hold responsible for my injuries at a hospital?
Hospital negligence may occur whenever a hospital staff member or employee has failed to meet the standard of care as determined by the medical community of Kansas. Although negligence or abuse may be because of an individual – including a doctor, nurse, physical therapist, anesthesiologist, or any other hospital employee – the hospital may be deemed responsible for the actions or mistreatment by their employees.
How long will my case take?
The majority of medical malpractice cases are settled outside of trial, which may take just months. Cases that go to trial can take longer — even a year or more. We know that you have suffered financial losses because of the hospital’s negligence and need your claim resolved as quickly as possible.
But we also want you to get the full amount of compensation you need for your injuries. We will strive to move forward consistently and keep your case from getting delayed unnecessarily.
Can I sue if my family member died due to hospital negligence?
If you are an eligible survivor of a family member who died due to hospital negligence, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the facility and the specific medical personnel whose negligence contributed to the death. You and other survivors could receive compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of companionship and support, and other damages. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to consult with a Topeka wrongful death lawyer who can provide you with the legal guidance you need.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against a hospital?
The statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against a hospital is generally two years from the date you were injured or the date you discovered your injuries and no more than four years from when the injuries happened. Wrongful death claims must usually be filed within two years of the date of death.

Client Testimonial
”My case was a long drawn out process because of the insurance company didn’t want to pay. LJ and Tonya kept working hard and long to make sure I got what I deserved. After 3 yrs they still low balled us and so LJ said with my agreement we’ll go to court and ask for hole lot more, 30 minutes after he hung up the phone they called back and settled with what we wanted. LJ and Tonya stay in contact with me and update me for 3yrs even making sure I was doing ok medically. That in my opinion is above and beyond what anyone could ask for.” – Dave Hoffner (Google Review)
