What Is a Hospital-Acquired Infection?
Fungal and bacterial infections that develop in hospital environments are known as nosocomial infections. These infections are typically transmitted when hospital staff fail to practice correct hygiene.
Examples of nosocomial infections include:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Acinetobacter baumannii
- Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia
- Urinary tract infections
Our lawyers thoroughly investigate hospital infection cases to determine if the hospital was lax in its procedures to protect patients. We work with highly qualified experts in hospital hygiene who help us prepare compelling cases for our clients. We will put our knowledge and experience to work for you to help you pursue full and fair compensation for the loss you have suffered.
