Blood Transfusion Injuries

Attorneys for Blood Transfusion Injuries in Los Angeles

In the event of massive blood loss due to physical injury or the need to replace lost blood during a surgery, a blood transfusion may save a patient's life. In these situations, another person's blood will be introduced through a vein or artery into the patient's bloodstream, replacing lost blood. Blood transfusions may be performed with donated blood or blood-based products.

When a blood transfusion is improperly performed, the results may be catastrophic. Blood transfusion injuries occur due to mistakes and negligence on the part of the medical professionals involved in the transfusion or possibly in the collection, transportation or storage of blood. Anything from an innocent labeling mistake of the wrong blood type to a case of pure recklessness may cause a blood transfusion injury or wrongful death, and at Pacific Attorney Group we are dedicated to helping those injured in these situations in taking legal action against the responsible parties.
