When someone is injured by a doctor, nurse, or hospital staff, it can be extremely difficult for families to know how to proceed. Unfortunately, preventable errors and medical malpractice happen all the time, even in Rhode Island’s largest hospital.
In 2018, Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, RI signed an agreement with state regulators after several serious medical errors came to light. These costly mistakes included patients being administered the wrong tests, and one whose spinal procedure was performed in the wrong location.
In the years prior, juries also awarded several multi-million dollar verdicts to victims of medical malpractice at Rhode Island Hospital.
The institution has taken steps to improve, but it is far from the only hospital in the state to see patients endangered by substandard care.
