The Devastation of Sepsis and When to Claim Compensation
Sepsis is a global killer. Those who survive the ravages of this shocking condition are often left with life changing disability. If this is the product of negligent medical care, contact a specialist solicitor to discuss the possibility of making a claim for compensation.
The devastation of sepsis
Sepsis, an immune system response to infection, can have devastating physical and emotional consequences. Causing multiple organ failure, this appalling illness can lead to loss of vision, loss of one or more limbs or partial limbs, damage to the liver and the kidneys. The long-term physical and emotional trauma can be debilitating and highly-distressing, limiting the victim's ability to continue to led the life they have previously enjoyed.
Even when the immediate threat is over, the patient can be left with post-sepsis syndrome and suffering with joint pain, fatigue, cognitive difficulties, anxiety and a myriad of other problems alongside their physical consequences.
The impact on an individual, their quality of life and the lives of their family and loved ones can be utterly devastating. Their ability to work may well be severely compromised. In fact, their ability to function independently at all may be limited by their experience of sepsis. They may require personal care and continuing medical support.
Claiming compensation for negligence
Where this distressing outcome is the result of negligent medical care, the patient should be legally entitled to make a claim for compensation.
A successful claim will address the financial consequences of the negligence such as a loss of income and the costs of care where appropriate as well as other costs caused by the negligence.
However such claims are extremely complex and require the support of an experienced specialist lawyer, who will be able to advise you step-by-step through this complicated process.
It is also important to bear in mind that claims for compensation for medical negligence are associated with a three-year deadline. Your solicitor will need to investigate and prepare your case before that deadline so do not delay if you think you may have a claim. Contact a specialist lawyer as soon as possible.
