Recently updated

LAS CRUCES, NM – February 21, 2025 – IV infiltration injuries can lead to severe complications when they occur. These complications include side effects such as nerve injury, tissue necrosis, and even permanent disability.

Most of the time, IV injuries are caused by medical negligence and the victims who experience these injuries deserve justice and compensation for their situation.

The firm is dedicated to helping patients and their families navigate the complexities of a malpractice claim, ensuring they have the support and legal expertise they need for their unique situation.

IV infiltration injuries occur when an IV is improperly placed and fluids or medications leak into the tissue surrounding a vein, rather than into the vein. This error can cause severe pain, swelling, and extensive or long-term harm. When a healthcare provider fails to monitor an IV site properly or administer treatment correctly, patients can suffer from serious but avoidable injuries.
