Your Malpractice Story Matters:
Hospital acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, are a danger in healthcare settings everywhere. HAIs can include surgical site infections, bloodstream infections (such as sepsis), gastrointestinal infections such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff), urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and infections contracted from medical devices like catheters or ventilators. Young children, older adults, and individuals with compromised immune systems are especially vulnerable. Nosocomial infections can be very serious, with some cases resulting in death.
When measures are not taken to prevent common infections, patients may be eligible for compensation as a result. Casey Injury Law helps patients and families seek justice for the hospital’s negligence.
Each day, nearly 1 in 31 U.S. hospital patients is affected by a healthcare-associated infection.
Often caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, these infections can devastate patients and their families, prolonging hospital stays and causing serious setbacks in recovery. Most infections result from neglected or improper infection control protocols, and each of these tragic cases highlights the urgent need for improved infection control measures.
Even the strictest infection prevention policies can sometimes fail due to human errors. Medical malpractice occurs when a patient contracts an infection during their hospital stay due to staff negligence or a failure to follow accepted infection prevention protocols, such as proper hand hygiene and the correct sterilization of medical instruments. HAI negligence also includes the delayed diagnosis or treatment of nosocomial infections.
