A nosocomial infection is an infection contracted during a stay in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or clinic. It can be caused by unsanitized environments, contaminated instruments, or errors in medical procedures.
It is necessary to collect medical documentation, such as medical records and reports, to demonstrate that the infection was contracted during hospitalization and that there were negligence or shortcomings on the part of the healthcare facility.
The statute of limitations is usually 10 years, but it can vary depending on the type of responsibility. Acting promptly is always advisable to ensure effective evidence collection.
Not always. In many cases, it is possible to obtain compensation through out-of-court agreements with the healthcare facility or insurance company. However, in the absence of an agreement, it will be necessary to go to court.
