Blood transfusions save the lives of countless patients every day. Someone may have gotten into a car accident and required blood to supplement the loss, or a patient may have a condition that requires continuous transfusions. These two types of patients are prime examples of potential victims of a blood transfusion error.

A blood transfusion error could be:

Adverse reactions
Lack of informed consent or patient verification
Improper blood storage (E.g. labeling errors)
Contaminated blood
And more...

The most common form of a blood transfusion error is the development of Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction. This condition occurs when a blood recipient is given the wrong type of blood. Other more dangerous conditions can occur when a patient is the recipient of contaminated blood. Such an error could result in an otherwise healthy patient contracting a disease like Hepatitis or AIDS.

When you or your loved one goes to the hospital or the doctor and needs blood, it is the responsibility of the medical staff around you to ensure that no blood transfusion errors are made. If you or your family has suffered as a result of a blood transfusion error, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
