Denver Contaminated Surgical Instruments Lawyer
Infections are one of the biggest dangers in a hospital setting, particularly in surgery rooms. While medical organizations are expected to use the highest care to ensure all items used in surgery have been thoroughly sterilized and safely stored up until the time of use, it is estimated that as many as 20% of the 30 million yearly surgeries in the U.S. results in infection. While many of these infections can be taken care of with some simple cleaning of the area and antibiotics, not all of the victims are so easily cured. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or died as a result of an infection, contaminated instruments may be to blame. Please call The Law Office of Denver's Medical Malpractice Attorney today to discuss your potential case with a skilled Denver medical malpractice attorney.
Because infections during surgery can be so dangerous and often cause life-threatening complications, hospitals are expected to take the highest level of care to sterilize all instruments used in these procedures. Failure to do so can result in an infection that can leave the patient needing further surgeries and spending more time in the hospital, out of work and away from his or her loved ones. This means even more medical bills at a time when your compensation will already be drastically declining. If the patient dies, that will result in even more expenses as funeral services are added into the equation. Fortunately, a Denver medical malpractice lawyer can help ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to, which can help you fight off these expenses.
