I urgently need advice: has anyone dealt with a hospital infection and filing a lawsuit? How can I find a good lawyer specializing in medical malpract

Hey everyone, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and could use some real-world insight. A few months back my cousin went into the hospital for a routine procedure, nothing major, but afterward she developed an infection that just wouldn’t go away. It turned into weeks of extra treatment, bills piling up, and nobody was really taking responsibility. We’re a pretty ordinary family, and trying to figure out whether there’s any legal angle here is intimidating. Has anyone ever dealt with something like this and maybe come out with some clarity on what steps to take?

That sounds really rough — I’m sorry you all are going through that. A close friend of mine faced something similar a while back, and the legal side felt like uncharted territory for them. What made a difference was educating themselves before contacting anyone so they weren’t just guessing. They looked into what a Hospital infection lawyer does and what kinds of cases get taken seriously in New York. That kind of background info helped them ask better questions and decide whether it was worth pursuing. It’s not a one-size-fits-all situation, but knowing what’s typical gave them a lot more confidence.

Just happened to see this thread and wanted to say it’s really eye-opening how often these kinds of issues turn into bigger problems. I haven’t been through anything like a serious hospital infection myself, but a couple of friends had experiences where they felt things didn’t go right after a procedure, and it really shook their trust in the system. Reading stories like this reminds you how important it is to look out for yourself and your family, and getting different perspectives here definitely helps make sense of it all.
