Challenging the Quality of the Medical Care of Your Sepsis Experience
Suffering sepsis can be a devastating and overwhelming physical and psychological experience, leaving the patient struggling with long-term symptoms and difficulties.
It can, of course, also be life-threatening.
The impact of sepsis
The threat and impact of sepsis cannot be overstated. Timely, knowledgeable and appropriate medical care is essential to ensure that the patient achieves the best possible outcome.
If you or a loved one are trying to come to terms with the appalling impact of sepsis and suspect that the quality of your medical care may not have been all that it should have been, it may be appropriate to investigate that care with a view to claiming compensation if it appears that you have been the victim of negligence.
Investigating the quality of sepsis care
The first step is to talk to a specialist medical negligence solicitor. Ensure that you have as much information to hand as possible regarding the key dates and events of any medical interactions which you or your loved one have had which may be relevant to your experience and outcome from sepsis.
In order to investigate the quality of your care, your solicitor will contact all relevant medical services to obtain copies of your medical records. They will then engage the best medical experts to analyse the quality of your care in order to identify whether or not you have been the victim of negligence.
If so, they will carry out a further assessment as to the impact, if any, of the negligence on the quality of your long-term outcome. If it appears that an act of negligence or substandard care has left you or your loved one with worse symptoms and long-term difficulties which would not have been the case with an acceptable level of care, you should be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
Claiming compensation
Some people are fortunate and survive sepsis with a return to relatively good health. Others are not so fortunate and suffer permanent and debilitating symptoms which might include fatigue, cognitive problems, muscle aches and breathlessness amongst many other, and sometimes far worse, problems.
A successful compensation claim will address the financial loss caused by the negligence. This may include the costs of care or treatment as well as a loss of earnings where this has been caused by the negligence.
