Kidney failure is the cause of over 50,000 deaths in America per year. Dialysis performs the work of the kidney. One area of dialysis related malpractice is the failure of the doctor to monitor the patient’s blood and medications. It is critical to contact the Law Offices of John R. Reeves, PC as soon as you know or should know that a problem has developed or malpractice has occurred. There are deadlines, called statutes of limitations, which can bar your medical malpractice lawsuit if it is not timely made.
When dialysis care goes wrong
Dialysis patients depend on careful monitoring. Claims may arise from problems such as infection from poor sanitation, failure to monitor fluid and blood levels, equipment errors, or failure to respond to warning signs during treatment. Not every complication is negligence, so the medical records must be reviewed by a qualified medical professional.
Claims against dialysis centers and other health-care providers in Mississippi are subject to a two-year deadline in most cases (Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-36). The law offices of john r. reeves, pc can review what happened and advise you on the next steps.
