Sepsis Malpractice Lawyer
Pennsylvania Sepsis Malpractice Attorneys
Sepsis can occur in patients of all ages, and with a proper diagnosis early on can usually be treated with relative ease. A septic patient is often one who is fighting a serious blood infection, and symptoms can often be mistaken by a doctor who doesn’t perform a thorough exam as the seasonal or swine flu or other common illness. As a result of this kind of malpractice and negligence, people too often suffer needlessly from septic shock, organ failure and even wrongful death.

Doctor and Hospital Negligence Cases
There are a countless ways that medical malpractice can seriously impact patients suffering from infection or sepsis. Our lawyers represent clients in sepsis infection cases involving:
- Delayed diagnosis
- Failure to recognize warning signs of sepsis
- Improper or insufficient treatment of infection
- Hospital negligence
- Post-operative negligence
- Failure of hospitals to treat a known source of infection
- Improper hygiene
Even the initial misdiagnosis of infection may be a case of malpractice if you sought treatment or the infection should have been recognized during an exam, but if a physician or hospital continues to fail to recognize a serious septic event, then you have a right to hold negligent doctors accountable for the additional pain and suffering you suffered.
