A picture is worth a thousand words.......
A young adult was injured in a motorcycle accident. He had injuries that
included extensive road, rock, and dirt burns and cuts. He was taken to
a hospital and treated for bruising, strains and sprains. His wounds and
burns were not treated according to the proper standard of care for such
injuries. He developed a very serious bacterial infection requiring surgery
for tissue and muscle removal. As a Coachella Valley Medical Malpractice
Lawyer, I know that proving medical negligence requires proof of the negligence.
In this case the patient was smart enough to take photos of his wounds
and burns while he was still in the ER room which can be used as evidence
to prove the condition of his skin while he was in the ER room that would
have required the emergency room doctor and nursing staff to follow the
reasonable standard of care for treating this patient instead of releasing
the patient after only washing the wounds with a saline solution and using
a gauze bandage.
