In order to maintain a medical malpractice claim against the hospital in the circumstances you described, you would have to have all of your medical records reviewed by a physician with the appropriate license and credentials who would have to give an opinion that either the hospital or one or more of the medical professionals that treated you deviated from the accepted standard of care in either its sterilization procedures or infectious-disease prevention measures.
MRSA is always a threat to hospitals and most have policies and procedures in place to try and eliminate the risk of MRSA for patients. However, that does not mean that infections do not sometimes occur in the absence of negligence.
If you would like to discuss your case in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly. Our office has many years of experience in handling complex medical malpractice cases in Pennsylvania.
