About Portner & Shure, P.A.

Hospitals are often not responsible for a doctor's medical malpractice but are responsible for the negligence of their employees such as nurses, medical technicians, and staff. This means that if the hospital staff, or an employee of the hospital, is negligent and injures a patient, the hospital may be liable for that employee's negligence if that employee was acting under the scope of their employment. This means that so long as the employee was performing a duty of their job at the hospital and that employee acts negligently, the hospital may be liable for the employee's negligent actions. Unless a doctor is an employee of the hospital, the hospital is not liable for the negligence of the doctor.
