Infections are complications of any open procedure or wound and are difficult to tie into malpractice. Should you believe there is a basis for proving the infection was due to a provable break in aseptic technique speak to local malpractice counsel.

Medical malpractice claims based upon infection setting in are extremely difficult to prove. Infection is a risk of any surgery. You need to show that the Dr. deviated from the standard of medical care and that that deviation caused or significantly attributed to the infection and related damages. You may find it helpful to review the Legal Guide I have published on .com which deals with medical malpractice and what it is. You can access my Guide through my profile page on .com.
