Hospital-Acquired Infections Due to Negligence
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a significant risk for patients, often resulting from unsanitary conditions or a failure to adhere to infection control protocols. These infections can complicate recovery, extend hospital stays, and in severe cases, lead to life-threatening conditions. Preventable infections indicate a breach in the standard of care that hospitals are obligated to provide. Our legal team is dedicated to holding healthcare facilities accountable for such negligence, striving to secure compensation for those who have suffered as a result of hospital-acquired infections.
