In the face of tragedy, the advocacy you seek matters.

The Alarming Reality Of Hospital-Acquired Infections

Hospitals are supposed to be safe harbors for those with vulnerable health. Unfortunately, they can also be breeding grounds for dangerous infections — especially when staff members fail to follow proper protocols. At The Law Office of Robert H. Kleinschmidt, P.C., in Scottsdale, our attorney works hard to help hold negligent medical professionals accountable and to help you recover the full and fair compensation to which you are entitled.

Hospital-Based Infections Can Seriously Harm Already Fragile Patients

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 25 hospital patients ends up with a hospital-acquired infection. These infections can wreak havoc on patients whose health is already fragile. In infants, staph infections may become life-threatening.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria — such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) and the “superbug” C. difficile — pose special dangers. With limited treatment options, patients who contract these infections may end up with permanent disabilities. Severe cases can lead to sepsis and eventual death.

When Hospitals Jeopardize Patient Safety

With advances in technology and modern medicine, hospitals in Arizona have abundant means at their disposal to prevent the spread of infection. When they fail to do so, patients pay the price.

The negligence of doctors, nurses and other hospital staff can also contribute to deadly infections. If an infection goes undiagnosed — or is not properly treated — it can quickly snowball into a potentially lethal threat.
