Pancreatitis Compensation Claims Solicitors
If you suspect that either you or a loved one have suffered due to a negligent medical response to pancreatitis, speak to a medical negligence solicitor about the possibility of making a claim.
Contacting a medical negligence solicitor
In the first instance, they will want to hear your account of what has happened, relevant dates and interactions with medical services as well as details of symptoms and outcomes for the patient.
If appropriate, they will contact the relevant medical services for copies of your medical records. They will then engage the best medical experts in the relevant fields who will carry out a meticulous analysis of your records for evidence of whether or not substandard or negligent care has occurred and, if so, whether or not it affected the medical outcome of you or your loved one.
If you or your loved one have been the victim of negligent care, a successful claim will take account of the patient’s pain and suffering as well as the financial impact of the negligence. This could include the costs of care, any loss of income both past and future as well as other associated financial losses.
Medical negligence and acute pancreatitis
Where a patient survives acute pancreatitis, their long-term outcome can be debilitating, making it difficult to work and perhaps necessitating some degree of care or support.
If negligent or substandard medical care has contributed to a poor outcome, it may be possible to make a claim.
Examples of negligent care of a patient with acute pancreatitis could include the following:
- A failure to consider pancreatitis as a possible explanation of the patient’s symptoms
- Damage to the pancreas during a surgical procedure
- A failure to carry out appropriate tests
- A delay in providing appropriate treatment
The need for a specialist solicitor
Medical negligence compensation claims are complex procedures with precise legal deadlines and processes which require the expertise of a specialist solicitor.
Knowledge and understanding of the issue at the heart of the claim is essential as is an awareness of the wide-ranging impact which negligent medical care can have.
A specialist with access to the best barristers and the most respected medical experts is crucial to a good outcome.
