Sepsis Failings and Claiming Compensation for Medical Negligence
If you or a loved one are facing a difficult future due to negligent medical care of sepsis, speak to a legal specialist about the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
Long-term sepsis consequences
The long-term implications of negligent medical management of sepsis are all too often absolutely life-changing.
At worst, this emergency condition can threaten the patient's life through multiple organ failure.
Even where the patient survives, there is a very strong likelihood that they will continue to suffer some degree of impairment or disability due to their sepsis experience. The consequences can be both physical and psychological, practical and cognitive, practical and financial.
- The individual may no longer be able to work due to the severity of their symptoms, perhaps affecting their cognitive ability or their fundamental health
- They may require some degree of care to help them manage daily tasks, both personal and household
- They may require specialist treatment or equipment or household adaptations in order to function effectively and safely every day
Where negligent medical care has caused or contributed to a patient suffering a poor long-term outcome, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation for the financial consequences.
Negligence in the medical care of sepsis
Negligence in relation to sepsis may come in many guises. It may be a failure of diagnosis or a delay in diagnosis. It may be a delay in treatment. Alternatively, it may a delay in diagnosing and treating an underlying infection which triggers sepsis. It may even be a negligent bowel perforation which leads to a sepsis reaction which would not have occurred with an acceptable level of care.
If you suspect that either you or a loved one are struggling with your future because of such failings in medical care, you should speak to a legal specialist who will be able to investigate the quality of your medical care.
