Medical Mismanagement of Ulcerative Colitis and When to Claim Compensation
If you or a loved one have suffered due to negligent medical management of ulcerative colitis, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation.
Negligent medical care of ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disorder, causing distressing, painful and potentially disabling symptoms. It requires prompt medical diagnosis, appropriate monitoring and competent care to ensure that the patient does not suffer life-changing or, in some cases, life-threatening complications such as bowel cancer or a bowel perforation.
Abdominal conditions can be difficult to diagnose due to similarity of symptoms and the subjective nature of the patient's experience. However, some bowel disorders are associated with a higher risk of complications and discomfort and require accurate diagnosis and appropriate monitoring and care. A failure of examination, testing, referrals, monitoring and treatment may all be regarded as negligent where a patient with ulcerative colitis unnecessarily suffers disabling problems which could have been avoided with more competent care.
When to Claim Compensation
If you are struggling with significant, debilitating symptoms and associated problems due to medical mismanagement of your ulcerative colitis, you should be legally entitled to make a claim for compensation.
If you suspect this to be the case, your first step should be to talk to a specialist medical negligence solicitor. They will be able to obtain copies of your medical records and carry out an investigation into the quality of your medical care.
If this is found to have been inadequate or negligent in some way, causing you to suffer a worse outcome than should have been the case, you should be able to make a claim which would address your financial losses such as a loss of income and the costs of treatment and care where this is necessary.
Speak to a legal specialist
Compensation claims for medical negligence are extremely complex, associated with specific and essential deadlines, processes and procedures. Strict adherence is crucial if you are to settle your claim successfully.
Furthermore, the analysis of a claim and, where appropriate, the assessment of the value of the claim both require the highest expertise and scrupulous attention to detail.
