San Francisco, CA medical malpractice attorney Jeff Mitchell discusses the potential challenges encountered in sepsis or infection cases. He explains that in severe sepsis cases, one of the central challenges lies in determining whether earlier therapeutic or medical intervention could have prevented the patient’s morbidity or mortality. Diagnosing sepsis is often complex because its symptoms can closely resemble those of other conditions, such as septic syndrome. This is why having an experienced lawyer is critical. He must not only understand the medical nuances of diagnosing sepsis but also anticipate and address the defenses likely to be raised by the opposing party. Mastery of these distinctions is essential to navigating such complex cases effectively.
