Respiratory Disease Claims
If your respiratory disease was not appropriately managed by medical practitioners, there could be a case of medical negligence. To find out more about making a medical compensation claim, please get in touch with us at Glynns Solicitors.
Respiratory disease
The respiratory system enables us to breathe. It includes the lungs, bronchioles, trachea, diaphragm and other structures. There are many different diseases that can affect the respiratory system, such as:
- Lung cancer
- Tuberculosis
- Bronchitis
- Pneumonia
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Asthma
- Pulmonary oedema
- Pulmonary embolism
Respiratory disease claims
If medical errors cause the patient to suffer complications, or exacerbate the patient's respiratory disease, there could be grounds for a medical negligence claim.
Most commonly respiratory disease claims arise due to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Indeed, many conditions require timely treatment if the patient is to avoid serious health issues. Illnesses such as tuberculosis can be fatal if treatment is delayed, while a missed cancer diagnosis will allow the tumour to grow to an increasingly large size.
Medical compensation solicitors
Whatever the nature of your complaint, if there has been an injury as a result of substandard medical care, you need to speak to a solicitor. The potential claim may relate to you or your loved one. Either way, a solicitor will be able to give you expert legal advice.
Errors relating to respiratory disease can have drastic consequences, sometimes leading to critical illness, permanent brain damage and even death. With cancer cases, a delay can mean that the patient's chance of survival is diminished, and/or that more extensive treatment is needed.
A successful medical negligence claim will see that the patient or their family are compensated for these terrible injuries. While that will not turn back the clock, it can provide some form of recompense, and importantly can provide financial support for the victim and/or their loved ones.
