Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections patients acquire while receiving treatment in a healthcare facility. The CDC reports that on any given day, about one in 43 nursing home residents has at least one HAI.
Strict infection-control protocols, hand hygiene, sterilization of equipment, and isolation procedures are vital to prevent HAIs. When nursing homes cut corners or fail to train staff, residents can contract pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or bloodstream infections. At Brauns Law, Infections can lead to prolonged hospital stays, antibiotic resistance, and, in severe cases, septic shock or death. Families face not only emotional distress but also overwhelming medical expenses.
Brauns Law helps clients seek accountability and full compensation for plaintiffs injured by preventable nursing home infections. We pursue claims against nursing facilities in Georgia whose lapses in infection control harmed elder residents.
