Do I have a Medical Malpractice case if I got two types of infection after a surgery in a teaching hospital?

Generally, infections that are acquired in hospitals are not the basis of medical negligence claims, largely because infections can result in even where a hospital takes all necessary precautions. In other words, the possibility of infection can never be completely eliminated, and therefore it is typically impossible to prove that the infection was not simply the result of a "recognized risk". However, there are certain circumstances in which an infection can be directly traced to a negligent practice, or where a negligent delay in the diagnosis of an infection occurs. A claim may be possible in those situations.
