Hospital Claims in Greece

Visiting a hospital for an emergency illness or injury is never easy, but when you need hospital care, you want and deserve to feel safe with the people and healthcare system that are helping you recover.

Unfortunately, sometimes a hospital visit doesn't turn out the way you want it to. The impact of a medical error can be huge, often leaving you with injuries and losses that cannot be made up for with a simple apology. If errors occur at any point in the process, whether it's a misdiagnosis, inadequate surgery or a delay in treatment that worsens your condition, you or a loved one is entitled to make a hospital error claim.

Claims can be made to a public hospital or health center or to a private clinic or hospital group.

Types of hospital negligence claims
Each hospital malpractice claim differs from patient to patient, making it a bit of a challenge to figure out what constitutes a valid reason to bring a claim against the hospital. At Langas, Scaroyannis and Associates, we regularly take on medical malpractice lawsuits, and some of the most common issues we handle are the following types of claims:

Hospital-acquired infections,
Negligence or delay in treatment or surgery
Incorrect diagnosis or failure to diagnose and treat
Incorrect medication
Incorrect procedure of care
Surgical negligence
Errors by nursing staff Negligence in emergency cases

While these are the most common nursing home negligence claims we face for patients and their families, other situations can arise that give rise to a claim against a hospital. If you are unsure whether you have a valid reason for a medical malpractice claim, our legal team is available to help you determine your next steps.

Often the claim is directed at both the staff and the nursing home. All institutions are insured and so the insurance company takes over the compensation of the victim.

Appealing to a hospital for any of the issues listed above may seem insurmountable given the size of the institution. It is also not always easy to obtain the information you and your loved ones need to understand what actually happened.

We not only strive to get answers to your questions, but also to secure the compensation you need to restore you and your family's finances. Compensation for hospital-acquired infections, wrong hospital care, misdiagnosis or delayed hospital diagnosis, or any other type of medical malpractice can include any of the following:

Mental anguish
Payment for treatments
Loss of income
Payment of medical fees or medical expenses; loss of income; unnecessary medical equipment or outpatient care
Psychological damage

Please note that there are time limits for submitting your claim so if you are concerned about a medical malpractice issue, please contact us directly to discuss your case without any commitment or financial obligation. You can also set up a meeting through our secretariat at +30 210 6452133
