Hospitals are required to provide all care in a clean setting. Sometimes, patient infections result directly from unsanitary health and safety conditions at the hospital. Patients may contract diseases or develop hospital-acquired infections during certain medical treatments or surgeries that make them vulnerable to bacteria. In addition to creating potentially dangerous complications, some infections can result in longer, more costly hospital stays.

The medical negligence lawyers at our Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based practice have extensive experience determining when such health issues are caused by medical malpractice. If this turns out to be the case for you, we can help you decide on the best legal response.
