Orlando Infection Lawyer

Infections caused by negligence can lead to serious medical complications, extended hospital stays, and permanent health damage. Whether you contracted an infection in a hospital, nursing home, or other facility that failed to maintain safe conditions, you have the right to seek compensation for your suffering. An experienced Orlando infection lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you hold negligent parties accountable and recover the damages you deserve.

Understanding Negligence-Related Infections

Infections can occur in many settings, including medical facilities, hotels, and rental properties. When an infection develops because someone failed to follow proper hygiene or safety protocols, it may be considered negligence under Florida law. Spencer Morgan Law represents victims who have suffered severe infections due to unsafe practices and poor sanitation across Orlando.

Common Causes of Preventable Infections

• Contaminated surgical instruments or medical equipment
• Poor hospital or nursing home sanitation
• Untreated mold or bacteria in apartments or hotels
• Negligent wound care or improper bandaging
• Contaminated food or water sources
• Lack of infection control procedures in public spaces

Our firm investigates the source of the infection and works with medical experts to prove how negligence led to your condition.

Steps to Take After Contracting an Infection

1. Seek immediate medical care to identify and treat the infection.
2. Follow all doctor’s orders and keep detailed medical records.
3. Take photos of visible wounds or affected areas if applicable.
4. Report the issue to the facility or property manager.
5. Avoid signing any documents or agreements before consulting an attorney.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to discuss your potential claim.

• MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)
• Sepsis and bloodstream infections
• Staph and E. coli infections
• Post-surgical infections
