Is It Illegal to Ignore a DNR in a Hospital or Nursing Home?
Ignoring a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order in a hospital or nursing home is more than a medical mistake—it can be a violation of patient rights and the law. Families may pursue claims of negligence, battery, or wrongful death when a DNR is disregarded. At Lexcura Summit, we help attorneys build strong cases with record analysis, chronologies, and litigation-ready reports.
Emergency Room Wait Times and Death in the Lobby—Is the Hospital Liable?
When a patient dies in an ER lobby after hours of waiting, questions of hospital liability arise. These tragedies often involve triage failures, staffing shortages, and systemic delays. Under EMTALA, hospitals are required to screen and stabilize patients, and failure to do so may result in wrongful death claims. Lexcura Summit helps attorneys build these cases with litigation-ready medical chronologies, life care plans, and expert consulting.
Nurse Didn’t Follow Physician Orders—Is That Malpractice?
When a nurse fails to follow a physician's orders, it can lead to serious patient harm — but not every deviation constitutes malpractice. Liability depends on whether the order was safe, documented, and within the standard of care. These cases often hinge on nursing notes, medication records, and expert medical chronologies. Lexcura Summit assists attorneys in evaluating nursing malpractice claims with litigation-ready documentation, life care plans, and expert analysis.
