Justice, Clarity and Peace Of Mind In Your Time Of Need

Quickly And Correctly Diagnosing An Infection Is Paramount

An infection can be contracted anywhere, and it can become a serious medical complication. Degrees of seriousness vary widely between infection types, but failure to diagnose infections can have dire consequences. If it is detected early, it is very likely that it can be cured.

If a doctor or nurse failed to screen properly for an infection, you may have a case for a medical malpractice claim. Infections can be detected through blood tests, urine tests and, in some cases, radiological imaging. If you or a doctor recognizes symptoms of infection, tests should be run immediately.

Many people are not aware that hospitals and clinics are very common places to acquire infections known as hospital-acquired infections (HAI). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.7 million HAIs cause or contribute to about 99,000 deaths each year in the United States.

These infections are preventable, and speaking with one of our experienced Bergen County medical malpractice attorneys should be your next step in remediation.
