How to Claim Compensation for Pancreatitis Medical Negligence
Acute pancreatitis can be life-changing. Speak to a solicitor if you suspect that substandard medical care has caused you to suffer a poor outcome.
Negligence and pancreatitis
Medical negligence can influence the development of pancreatitis in a couple of ways:
- A failure during a surgical procedure such as an ERCP which leaves the patient with pancreatitis
- A delay in diagnosing pancreatitis, allowing the patient's long-term outcome to deteriorate
As well as significant pain and discomfort, acute pancreatitis can cause sepsis and threaten the life of the patient.
The consequences can be wide-ranging and life-changing.
If this shocking situation is a result, in part or fully, of negligence on the part of medical professionals, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation.
Compensation claims
A successful compensation claim takes account of the patient's pain and suffering as well as the financial losses which they are experiencing and are likely to experience as a result of the negligence which they have suffered.
For example, if negligent care relating to pancreatitis has caused the patient to suffer sepsis, they may struggle to work as a result. When this has occurred, a claim would include the patient's loss of earnings, from the date of the negligence and into the future.
If the patient struggles to remain independent as a result of the impact of pancreatitis, their claim could include the costs of care insofar as it is necessary and has been caused by the negligence.
How to make a claim
If you are thinking of making a claim, you need to speak to a medical negligence solicitor.
Make sure that you have a record of dates and details of the development of your symptoms and any relevant medical interactions or procedures which have influenced your situation.
A specialist solicitor will make a note of what has happened to you and, if appropriate, contact all relevant medical services to obtain copies of your medical records.
They will then engage the services of the best medical experts to whom they have access to carry out a thorough analysis of your records for evidence of negligent care and what, if any, impact any negligence had on your outcome from medical care.
