A sepsis infection is a bacterial infection in the bloodstream. Delays in recognizing and treating a sepsis infection can often result in death. A sepsis infection usually develops after surgery and can develop within hours or days of the procedure.

The Lawrence Firm, PSC offers collaborative and effective legal services from a team of attorneys experienced in cases involving sepsis infections in Covington, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio.
A sepsis infection often leads to prolonged hospitalizations and if left untreated may result in death. A sepsis infection is extremely painful to endure. Our attorneys understand the complex nature of sepsis and the potential life-long implications of the infection.
A sepsis infection can happen to anyone. Patients who have just had surgery, are older or have a weakened immune system may be more susceptible to developing sepsis. They are usually caused by a surgical error, where a doctor or other medical professional nicks the bowel and does not notice. The bowel leaks toxic elements into the blood stream and poisons the bodily system.
Medical professionals can also be liable for sepsis infections that go unnoticed. If a patient enters the emergency room with extreme pain in the abdomen, the doctor should check to see if the bowel has ruptured and spilled into the abdominal cavity. The toxic bacteria released into the body can cause kidneys and other organs to shut down, eventually leading to the death of an infected person. If you believe that you or loved one suffered a sepsis infection that was not diagnosed causing catastrophic or fatal damage, you need experienced and effective legal assistance.
