Blood Contamination Cases, including HIV and Hepatitis Infections
Contamination can arise out of dirty needles, food poisoning, infected tissue transplants, or blood transfusion. The resulting injuries are usually very severe, and often lead to death. A dirty needle can cause the death of any victim it touches. At Johnson Welch P.C., our attorney is interested in pursuing negligent doctors, hospitals, nurses, or other liable parties in contamination cases. We have successfully handled blood product infection cases, including HIV and Hepatitis, chemotherapy product contamination, and food poisoning contamination cases.
Contamination is usually the result of negligent testing or failure to follow proper hospital, clinical, or business procedures. We aggressively investigate every case to identify every potential source of liability.
Contact Johnson Welch P.C. if you or a loved one has been the victim of contamination.
We are experienced with all of the following:
- Transfusions and blood infections
- Dirty needle infection
- Blood contamination
- Blood poisoning and transmitted diseases
- Chemotherapy contamination
- Hepatitis Infections
- HIV transmission
Negligence in contamination cases can sometimes be difficult to prove. However, in many cases, the source of negligence is more obvious. For example, a simple blood test should be able to indicate any sign of the disease or infection before that blood is used for a transfusion. Our firm has successfully handled over 30 Hepatitis C infection claims resulting from the largest outbreak of such cases. This outbreak occurred from poor infection control policies in a cancer clinic. Our firm was able to recover significant settlements for each victim and their family.
If you or a loved one is a victim of blood contamination, consult with an experienced attorney immediately. Delay may result in the loss of opportunities to preserve evidence and your rights.
Many victims are infected with a dirty needle during transfusions and chemotherapy treatment, due to bad sterilization practices. There is a body of knowledge used to instruct medical professionals on how to flush products appropriately or correctly to ensure that they are safe. We have successfully demonstrated the negligence of clinics in these cases. Immediately contact our attorney if you or a loved one is a victim of blood contamination.
