Can You Sue a Hospital for Missing MRSA Pneumonia at Discharge?

Potentially, yes. A medical malpractice claim requires proving four elements:

1. Duty: Hospital owed competent care.
2. Breach: Failed to diagnose MRSA pneumonia during the visit.
3. Causation: The missed diagnosis directly caused harm (worsening illness, complications).
4. Damages: Measurable losses—medical bills, pain/suffering, lost wages.

These cases are complex and require expert testimony. Consult a qualified medical malpractice attorney to assess your evidence and strategy.
