Sepsis Negligence Solicitors: Compensation for Lasting Harm
Speak to a medical negligence solicitor if you suspect that your
poor outcome from sepsis could have been avoided with better or more
timely medical care.
Post-sepsis difficulties and medical negligence
Life after sepsis can be very challenging, with a range of debilitating symptoms undermining the patient’s quality of life and well-being in a variety of ways. If you suspect that negligent medical care contributed to your poor sepsis outcome, it may be possible to claim compensation. A successful claim can help to address the many challenges by addressing the financial losses which you are experiencing and are likely to experience into the future as a result of your substandard care.
Sepsis is a medical emergency and early diagnosis and treatment are associated with a better outcome from this life-threatening illness.
Actions or failures by medical professionals which might be regarded as negligent and which may justify a claim for compensation could include a failure of risk assessment, a failure to identify sepsis symptoms, a failure to make a timely referral, a negligent bowel perforation leading to sepsis amongst many others.
Medical professionals should be aware of the risks of sepsis and be ready to refer or investigate a patient where they suspect that they may be developing this appalling condition.
The impact of sepsis
Sepsis can leave a person struggling with physical, cognitive and psychological difficulties. The overall impact on a person’s quality of life can be significant. On-going and life-changing problems as a result of sepsis could include the following:
- You may now be struggling to work, suffering a significant loss of earnings as a result, both now and in the future
- There may be many activities and household chores which you are now unable to do, requiring some degree of assistance
- You may require personal care on a daily basis
- Your on-going symptoms may require you to engage in specialist treatment or to purchase specialist equipment to help you manage your life
A successful compensation claim can help you to deal with many of these problems and financial difficulties.
