If you or a loved one developed a serious infection after a hospital stay, you may have a case. We help families investigate what went wrong, hold negligent facilities accountable, and pursue compensation for medical costs, long-term care, and justice.

Why It Matters

Not all infections are preventable but many are. When hospitals fail to sanitize equipment, isolate patients, or monitor wounds, they put lives at risk.

Infection cases often involve lapses in basic protocols: hand hygiene, sterile technique for lines and catheters, wound care, isolation, or timely antibiotics. Culture results, nursing notes, and readmission records help experts show whether preventable mistakes led to sepsis, MRSA, C. diff, or other serious harm.
