Hospital Infections

Rhode Island Hospital Infections Attorney

We go to the hospital to feel better. We trust the doctors and nurses will give us outstanding care and protect us from harm. Hospital negligence, however, can leave patients suffering from serious infections, or even cause their death. According to the Centers for Disease Control, two million patients develop infections while in the hospital and almost 100,000 patients die as a result of hospital-acquired infections. As more bugs and bacteria become resistant to standard antibiotic treatment, it is more important than ever for hospitals and healthcare providers to follow strict infection control methods

Did you suffer from a serious blood infection or other infection in the hospital? Did a hospital infection cause a loved one's wrongful death? For a free evaluation of your medical negligence claim, contact a lawyer at the Law Office of Mark B. Morse. We will take the time to listen to your story and recommend the best legal action for your situation.

At the Law Office of Mark B. Morse we represent clients and families in lawsuits related to hospital infections caused by medical malpractice. Our founder, attorney Morse, has more than 25 years of litigation experience and is certified as a Specialist in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He has the experience, knowledge and skills to handle even the most complex medical malpractice claim involving injuries or death caused by infection.

An infection caused by a doctor or nurse's negligence should never occur. Simple infection control measures and precautions like hand washing and equipment sterilization can all but eliminate the spread of serious infections in the hospital. When a hospitalized patient does contract an infection, the results can be deadly. Serious infections like bloodstream infections can require lengthy hospitalization, additional surgery, IV antibiotics, amputation, and can even cause death.

  • Urinary tract infections (UTI)
