Medical Negligence - Misdiagnosis of Infections
In Phoenix, Arizona and Taking Cases Nationwide
People don’t associate infections with catastrophic injury or wrongful death. This is because advances in medicine have made mild to moderate infections so easily treatable with antibiotics. However, if infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria or viruses aren’t treated quickly enough, serious injuries or death can result.
Infection Injury Liability
A physician's misdiagnosis or medical negligence can cause a delay in treating an infection. For example, we recently settled a case for a woman whose orthopedist failed to diagnose and treat a serious foot infection that developed after ankle fusion surgery. The negligent physician made many medical missteps that eventually led to the amputation of her leg.
The victim of a negligent misdiagnosis or treatment of an infection has the right to seek justice and compensation for:
- Bodily injuries
- Past and future medical bills
- Past and future lost wages
- Pain, suffering, disability, and disfigurement
