Medical Malpractice and Post-Natal Infections
When newborn babies are not properly cared for, they can contract serious infections. That is why it is crucial that hospital staff members are cautious when handling a newborn and that hospital premises are kept sanitary. Unfortunately, these things do not always happen, and newborn babies can suffer from dangerous and potentially life-threatening infections.
At the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., we believe that negligent hospitals and hospital workers should be held accountable for the injuries they cause to innocent patients, and we are dedicated to helping victims of medical negligence fight for compensation. If your baby has suffered a post-natal infection, contact our Waco medical malpractice lawyers today at 877-948-4842 to learn more about how we can help you in this difficult time.
Causes of Post-Natal Infections
Post-natal infections can result from a failure to do any of the following:
- Properly clean a hospital’s nursery
- Handle a newborn with clean hands
- Properly clean a newborn
- Use sterile instruments
While any type of medical negligence is unacceptable, negligence that harms a newborn child seems particularly devastating. Those responsible for this type of negligence should be held accountable for their actions.
