Bacterial Infections
Hospitals, doctor offices, and other medical facilities are all places we go to when something is wrong and we need to get well again, or to improve or maintain overall health. Nobody expects to get sick or contract a bacterial infection at any of these types of places. From small colds to potentially fatal conditions, bacterial infections occur far too often due to negligent medical staff. If this type of malpractice in Manhattan has caused injury to you or someone you know, our lawyers can assist you.

When a doctor or nurse is not sanitary - such as not properly washing hands or medical instruments - a patient is at risk. Medical facilities are filled with people that have all types of illnesses and diseases, and when the facility itself is not properly maintained and taken care of, it puts others at risk. This is especially true when it comes to hospitals. If you or someone you know is suffering from malpractice, contact our Manhattan lawyers.
In hospitals, bacterial infections can easily affect a patient that is getting surgery. Additionally, the neonatal ICU, pediatric ICU, and the burn ICU are the most common areas of a hospital in which bacterial infections have been known to spread. Patients, visitors, even hospital workers that had nothing to do with the negligence of another, can all be victims of hospital acquired infections. One of the most common hospital acquired infections are bloodstream infections, which are usually fatal.
