Hospitals Have a Responsibility to Prevent Infections
Post-surgical infections and surgical errors such as peritonitis are among the leading cause of deaths resulting from surgery. Every year, nearly 100,000 people die because of unsafe conditions during surgery or due to post-operative infections.
The medical malpractice law firm of Baker & Baker has extensive experience investigating and representing victims of medical negligence involving complex infections and post-surgical negligence. Our attorneys have earned an AV rating in a peer-review rating process and we are proud to be among a select number of law firms listed in the prestigious Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers.
A surgeon is in complete control of the entire operating room and surgical procedure. A post-surgical infection may be a sign that negligence occurred while you were under anesthesia.

What Should the Hospital Staff Have Watched For?
Surprisingly, the greatest threat of infections comes before and after a surgical procedure. The nurses and hospital have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure that your personal condition and the condition of your room is kept as clean and free of infectious diseases as possible. Your post-surgical infection may have been the result of a failure to monitor your condition and the effectiveness of medications and antibiotics.
