Causes of Needlestick Injury – Lawyer John Gehlhausen

  • 12 years ago
www.ivinjurylaw.com - Needlestick injuries can and do result in permanent damage. A needlestick injury is different from an IV injury, in that it results from a needle insertion other than that used for intravenous medication. This can include localized shots of medication in the deltoid of the upper shoulder or in the buttocks. In many cases, needlestick injury occurs because the wrong type of medication is prescribed, too much medication is prescribed too quickly, or the treatment location lacks sufficient tissue to absorb the medication.
