Addressing the Financial Losses of Necrotising Fasciitis Negligence
A successful compensation claim addresses the financial impact of medical negligence and can help the patient to cope with the difficulties they face.
Addressing the financial losses of necrotising fasciitis
A patient who suffers a poor outcome due to the substandard nature of their medical care is legally entitled to make a claim for compensation for the consequences of that negligence.
Where necrotising fasciitis negligence is concerned, the consequences can include a significant loss of income, the need for on-going treatment and care, the need for equipment and household adaptations, as well as a range of other outcomes specific to the way in which this horrific infection has affected the patient.
This terrible illness can ravage the patient's body, fundamentally compromising their long-term well-being. A once-healthy individual can become reliant on care and be too unwell to work.
Significant deformity, disability and psychological distress can follow in the wake of a necrotising fasciitis infection. If this appalling infection has commenced in a limb, it may even be necessary for the patient to undergo an amputation. The emotional impact of such an outcome, let alone the knock-on impact, can be hard to imagine.
Such an outcome can represent a significant financial loss. It is not just a matter of the individual being unable to work, but also the costs of the methods and treatments necessary for them to cope with and manage their symptoms and difficulties.
Making a claim for compensation
As well as recognising the patient's pain and suffering, a successful compensation claim for medical negligence addresses the financial impact of the negligent care, including the patient's loss of income, both past and future, as well as the costs of care, where this is necessary.
Any additional costs caused by the negligence are also taken into consideration such as treatment, equipment and adaptations to the home.
Making a claim
If you suspect that you or a loved one have been the victim of negligent medical care of necrotising fasciitis, speak to a legal specialist at the earliest possible moment. They will investigate the quality of your care through a meticulous analysis of your medical records and identify whether or not there has been an instance of negligence which has adversely affected your outcome.
This is a complex process requiring experience and expertise in this specific field of law.
