If you or a loved one have suffered due to an untreated infection, the attorneys at Jacobs & Jacobs are here to stand up for your rights. We have extensive experience handling complex medical malpractice lawsuits for clients from New Haven and throughout Connecticut.
Infections in a medical setting can be caused by unclean instruments, airborne pathogens, or simply the failure to properly wash hands.
Most infections, if diagnosed in a timely manner, can be successfully treated. When doctors fail to recognized the warning signs of infection, patients are put at risk. In preventing and treating infections, doctors must take into account the patient’s medical history. When treating a patient with a weakened immune system, for instance, special measures should be taken.
Examples of infections resulting from medical malpractice include:
- Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or staph infections)
- Blood infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Untreated infections during pregnancy
- Pneumonia
- Meningitis
