$3.5 Million – Fatal Sepsis After Nurses Delayed An IV Line Overnight
Fatal Sepsis After Nurses Delayed An IV Line Overnight
Jane Doe V. ABC Hospital Columbus, Ohio
A young married woman who had two young boys was admitted to her local hospital for an infection of her wound site after a recent spine surgery. She needed an IV line established so she could receive fluids and she needed antibiotics to cure her infection. Had this happened she would have been fine, the infection cured by these medications. Unfortunately, the nursing staff delayed placing the IV line during the day and the entire evening. By morning her condition had worsened, and she never recovered, eventually dying of her infection which had then shut down her important organs.
Every case is different, and the verdicts and settlement figures listed by Crandall & Pera Law are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients and cases.
