Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California
Hospital aquired MRSA infection
I was diagnosed with the type of MRSA infection that is Hospital Aquired. I contracted it during a stay in a local hospital. Ironically enough that same hospital to diagnose me with MRSA is the hospital where i was a patient and contracted it. I have suffered now two episodes of Mrsa abcesses the second of thetwo being on my face. With the diagnosis being ''Hospital acquired'' along with some pretty solid evidence to support my claim that it was indeed this particular hospital is there any way to make them responsible to provide me the necessary treatment at no cost or the funds to seek treatment elsewhere. Because of the improper techniques and unsanitary practices im now left with a serious and lifethreatening disease and no means to financially seek the necessary treatment.

Re: Hospital aquired MRSA infection
You're trying to describe a claim of medical malpractice, in contracting the disease. To win, you've got to have testimony from a medical expert to convincingly support and prove your allegations, and overcome their legal defenses. You have to have such expert on board before you can even file suit. You have at most only one year to file from when you learned of the problem through the diagnosis you described. If you're still within that year, and if you think you've got doctor's supporting testimony, feel free to contact me.
