How to file a dialysis injury claim.
Identify the Cause
Determine what caused the injury: GranuFlo/NaturaLyte, equipment failure, staff negligence, or infection. Request all dialysis treatment records from the facility.
Document Medical Harm
Gather records of the injury: cardiac arrest, infection diagnosis, or death certificate. Include emergency room records, hospital stays, and specialist consultations.
Identify Defendants
Potential defendants include dialysis centers (DaVita, Fresenius), equipment manufacturers, dialysate solution makers, and individual healthcare providers.
Calculate Total Damages
Document all medical expenses, lost wages (or lost earning capacity for death cases), funeral costs, and pain and suffering. Include ongoing care needs.
Consult a Medical Malpractice Attorney
