Staph Infection

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a staph infection caused by improperly disinfected hospital areas, such as emergency rooms. This skin infection enters the body through wounds, cuts and other open sores. In relatively healthy people, staff infections cause minor skin complications. However, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and sick patients can become seriously ill.

Williams and Barber pursues compensation for patients who have contracted staph infections and family members who have lost loved ones due to complications of staph infections.

Staph infections occur in medical facilities and arise from the negligence of medical professionals. They are pursued as medical malpractice lawsuits. If you or a loved one has contracted a staph infection from a hospital, emergency room or other medical facility, please contact Williams and Barber to schedule a free initial consultation and case evaluation with a lawyer.

MRSA infections are resistant to penicillin and other commonly-used antibiotics. The staph infections begin as small red bumps and can quickly grow into abscesses that are painful and require surgical draining. A staph infection can also go deeper into the body and result in many types of infections related to the bones, joints, bloodstream, lungs and heart. In some situations, death results.

At Williams and Barber, we understand the frustration and pain that can accompany these types of medical malpractice lawsuits. Often, the staph infection could have been prevented by following the standard of care-properly washing hands, properly sanitizing areas, using protective masks and generally keeping patients safe. If you or a loved one has contracted a staph infection, contact us to schedule a free consultation with an attorney.
